In the end you will be thankful that you put so much time an effort into the plumbing. I skipped all the ball valves and unions and I now regret the fact that I will have to cut the pipe to do any modifications to the plumbing.


yeah, after couple of tanks, I decided to spend more money on the plumbing.

that is exactly why i did not get am OEM too much plumbing...




2 wavy seas, 2 6200 streams and a wave box were enough for me...
 
Trung, when I did mine, I fit all the pipe together, then figured out how to lose a few elbows, fit it together again, figure out a better way.............. I ended up with the same end result, but lost quite a few 45Ã"šÃ‚° and 90Ã"šÃ‚° elbows to reduce head loss.

Take your time to plan out the plumbing, then take your time on gluing everything together and you won't have any leaks.

Very nice tank!

I ordered it from Pacific Reef in Fountain Valley. It's Leemar. I will post the design later. I got quoted from diff LFS, but the best deal was from PR.


sounds good, I'm going to give them a call tomorrow. Do they do quotes? I got a quote for 1150 for the tank i wanted, but it seemed a little high. What do you guys think? it's 48x24x24 eurobraced and staphire front panel only with center trapezoid overflow.
 
Ken, this is what I have done so far:

Union for the Super squirt

and after adding some flexi. hole

I can't tell you the price because my tank is weird size that's why it cost more than usual. Yes, they do quote for you.

Here is my design:

That sure looks like a monster! :D
Hope your overflow keeps up with your pump w/o creating too much noise!
