Finally starting up the new (In-wall) tank

[ReefCartel]

Np. Thank you. So I would need 2 of these

 

[143MPCo]

yes... BTW schd 40 is just as good on something like this, and cheaper.

 

[ReefCartel]

True and easier to cut. Luckily I had quite few schedule 80s lying around lol.

If ya got, use it...lol

 

[ReefCartel]

would two 3 way valves be better to use for the inlet and outlets?

if you already have them, sure... otherwise a standard is fine.

 

[ReefCartel]

Sweeet

 

[143MPCo]

3 way, like this one?

 

[ReefCartel]

Yes!

 

[143MPCo]

ok, man headed out for a new years bash... Happy New Year!
TTY next year...lol

 

[ReefCartel]

Okay have a blast and Happy New Years. If possible, when you get the chance. can you make me another blue print on where i should plumb a return pipe into my sump. After the salt is done mixing I want to turn a few knobs and shoot it into the sump

 

[143MPCo]

Sure...

I would need to see the placement of the sump relative to all containers to make a recommendation... can you place them in the final locations and take a picture?

 

[ReefCartel]

Okay cool. I will draw something for you now and take some photos

 

[ReefCartel]

Ok so heres a quick sketch of the placements.

Here is the actual photo of the set up.

Here is the left side wall of tank "A" and behind the wall is the sump.

Right side wall of sump and behind it is Tank "A"

Im planning to break down that wall for to pipes to run thru.

Water station "Black Vertical Tank, Tank A and Tank B.

 

[143MPCo]

Is the return pump for the Tank internal or external?

That's to way will it sit inside the sump?

 

[ReefCartel]

Internal Pump. Diablo dc 10500

 

[ReefCartel]

 

[143MPCo]

Ok, than you can tee off the return for draining water out of the system, during water changes, and use the pump on the mixing stations to add fresh mixed salt water via the 4 way tee on the upper cross piece that connects the two contains... You will have to ball valve all three ends.

 

[ReefCartel]

woooh sweeet. Is there a way you can draw up a blue print for reference?
