That not bad looking at all. Can you show me the Herbie you have set up? And I see you have the drain on the left side of your tank. I have 2 of those one on each side. Do I do a herbie in each one?
Few more things to note:
1) The valve should be a gate valve, not the ball valve that I installed. It will not allow for easy FINE adjustments - total mistake on my part and I've already purchased a gate to replace it. Hope I find a way to make it fit!
1a) The drain is no less than 6" below the surface of the safety pipe.
2) The vid doesnt show the drain pipe's strainer well ( http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/bulkhead-overflow-strainers.html ) - which is critical to keep snails from ruining your day and theirs.
3) The ticking is not a bomb. It's the carbondoser regulator to my calc reactor.
here you go:
Honestly, I would do bean animal if I had the holes pre-drilled. As for 2 herbs - I wouldnt do it. Then you would have double the adjusting. If you stick with Herbie, you could have 2 or 3 safety drains or you could plug the extra holes up. But I'll defer to others' for opinion on that one.
