Plumbing show off

[Silent]

I like seeing people's set ups almost as much as seeing the corals. Some really awesome and clean pics posted.

I really wish I had used colored pvc when I did this.

Still looks very nice.

Still relatively new but...here we go!

Fresh water leak and systems check testing day - prior to and just after filling.

Mine. 1140 l.

Really like the use of the metal-wire panels/grid for cord attachment. What are those?

They are grid panels that retail stores use to use for store displays. You can buy shelves and different brackets that fit the grid work for hanging components with slight modifications. This way equipment can be moved without major rework. The cabling used velcro wraps like we use in the data center at work to manage wiring.

I really respect you guys that have to keep your equipment under your stand. I am able to run my plumbing into my basement, and after seeing how neat and tidy you make everything, I feel like mine looks like hodgepodge. I wouldn’t trade the extra room to have very large pieces of filtration equipment, but that also allows me to be lazy and just make things work instead of making it look nice.

I think for sure I’m reaching out local when I upgrade and put things together have someone come help and shoot the breeze. Maybe they can help explain to the wife better why things are necessary ;Playful

I think I have seen transfer stations with smaller valves lol. That's some big plumbing.​

Pics from when I first plumbed it
Runs good, silent, and no leaks.
just waiting for the last part of the build before we fill her up for good.

What return pump are you using

The main manifold coming out of my sump is 3”. Yeah, it’s probably overkill, but I’ll never outflow it.
