Clean setup. Looks nice

My CP setup...

I came across your set up last week. Very nice. How far can the lines go? My effluent and return line may need to hit some 90 degree angles and up a couple feet to reach the sump. Will that be a problem?

I'm sucking from 150 ft away and 8 ft in height with the cole parmer. Does that easily

 

[ReefCartel]

Awesome

Ya, no problem with distance.
Ran a litermeter setup across part of my house for auto water changes once.

Peri Pump came in

 

[ReefCartel]

Im running into some problems setting up this peri-pump. First i ordered the wrong easy load head which was $150 plus shipping but luckily it came with a standard head.l but the tubing i ordered isnt working with it. smh im pretty new at this pumps and theres no videos to show me how to load this particular pump. Such a head ache lol

On YouTube there is a video for loading a masterflex head. Just search masterflex head loading.

Got this Reactor coming but could not find the footprint size or if i can place it inside the sump. do any of you use this product? would like more reviews.

I was looking at the Vertex RX-C 6D reactor just last night. This is the footprint as it is listed on BRS - 11” x 12” x 22” (Width, Length, Height)

I ended up with a GEO 618 actually really pleased with it

On YouTube there is a video for loading a masterflex head. Just search masterflex head loading.

Im missing the tube key to slide it in. Also, My head is for 19 L/S and my tubes are 17L/S. smh im thinking this is more complicated than sticking to a needle valve and a Mj1200 lol

 

[eagle]

I agree. The head I have takes several different sizes but otherwise it can be a pain. They will last though when you have all the parts together.

 

[ReefCartel]

So i have an Easy Load head meant for 18 L/S tubing a Standard Head meant for 19 L/S Tubing but the one I need is 17 L/S haha. So im sitting on 2 heads worth about $400 and I cant use them.

 

[eagle]

You can find tubing pretty cheap on ebay

 

[ReefCartel]

actually L/S 17 is perfect which us what I have. I have about 50 feet of masterflex . I just need the proper heads.

 

[ReefCartel]

These two would go perfect together. But my module isnt compatible (The most expensive part) lol

 

[ReefCartel]

Or i can just sell the module and get another one.

This isn't too bad of a deal and that's a good head... has the stainless steel rollers rather than cold rolled steel. 1-100 rpm with digital console.

I have the 77410-10 console and standard head meant for 19 L/S. I just need a head for this particular console that will do 17 L/S. I have about 50 ft of the good masterflex brand.

Im actually thinking of selling my console which does 33-600 rpm
