saltwater snoopy Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Can't wait until my tanks are done had a guy that was letting my wire up a few panels fm time to time for extra money its hit an mis when my disability going to shut down my day, so my builds came to a halt, with my 100g all thats left is to tie in the sump an set up my RODI an mixing station sure hope at some point i get to enjoy a reef tank, i guess i need to decide if the 3 1in horizon drilled holes will do or it im going to make them return fm my sump and empty the tank and drill the 2 corners and make those the drain to the sump any thoughts i dont want drain noise as the whole reason im doing it so ive got something to look at on my bad days you all have yrs and yrs in all this so ill probably go with what you all says best thanks tank looks good bud Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I basically used what is referred to as the "Herbie Overflow" to make mine silent. Now, My tank as a whole is far from silent, but I definitely do not hear water draining or gurgling. Here is a link to the reference. http://gmacreef.com/herbie-overflow-reef-tank-plumbing-method-basics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltwater snoopy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks bud i read about it before but wanted to get an opinion i think i may do that on both corners and use the horizon holes for return fm sump pump, thanks it seems most all are using that method, thanks again Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one corner I had my return and the main drain and in the other I had a return and the emergency drain, it worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Jakedoza Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 As usual I have been lazy at updating this. It has been over a year since I have set this system up and things have been great. Here are some photos of the system as it is after a year running where it sits. I did find out that my return pump (Mag12) was leeching electrical current into my system. After much thought and internal debate I decided to go with an external pump. I found a used Reeflo pump from a member here on the forum and then started thinking about how I wanted to plumb this thing. I decided to put the pump outside the stand in the "cubby" area that has my calcium reactor and electrical. I flipped my sump around and drilled a hole. Thank you Jake from RCA for allowing me to borrow the bit.. Before I did that I placed the sump where it needed to be and measured where the pump needed to be and I used a sharpie to mark where I needed to drill. Measure 3 times, cut once! My wife supplied the small steady stream of water as I drilled the sump (She is soo awesome!) I then placed the sump back where it needed to be and adjusted the pump where it needed to be and had to adjust the height of the pump. I mounted it on some wood from the stand that was over built. Then I started building the manifold I designed up i my head while at Lowes.. That only took 2 hours in the plumbing section.. This is the result. I then decided I wanted another union valve on top of the pump. More updates to come soon.. (See DIY Chiller) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
