And I mean uuuuuuhhhhgge!
How the heck are you guys fitting these underneath? I am really curious to see an even bigger one, installed nicely. I bought a 1 1/4 to go from my 1 1/4” drains to my 1 1/2” AF1 filter roller inlet. I have little clue how I’m going to pull this eyesore off around my other equipment.

let the game of Tetris begin.

Here’s my 1” Spears gate valve installed as close to the drain line into the sump as possible to aid in the quick purging of air in the primary siphon upon start up. It’s not too bad IMO.

Sorry for dirty skimmer.

Having a plan is the key. Sketch your plumbing diagram and go from there.

Very clean reefers! I agree, design is a key part of the process. Not everything upgrades easily ;Dead
