Hey guys i'm at the plumbing stag and wanted to share what i have so far, I would like anyone's comments or recommendations on things to change or add in.
Sorry for the rough drawing lol its the best i could do right.
Little break down of the system
- Main display is a 72"x24"x24" (164g)
-Sump 60"x18"x18" (74g)
The tank is on the main floor and the sump in located in the basement under the main tank.
One main question i have is do you think i should run 2 return pipes? This is my first tank that will have the sump in a different location that is not under the tank and i am not sure if i will have enough flow for the tank. I have a Vectra M1 right now, I do have a second pump as a backup on a shelf collecting dust tho so it wont be a problem to add it in if people think i would need it.
Also for the plumbing in the overflow the drains can just be pushed in and not glued for the 3/4" returns what would you recommend? Would it be to much pressure from the pump and blow them off?
PS. the hanging electrical plugs are temporary
