Trigger 20 cube sump

Plumbed in my Vectra M2 return pump.

 

[RedReefer]

Should I plumb in a check valve on the return line?

 

[RedReefer]

Finished plumbing. Any suggestions. Set up for Herbie drain?

 

[RedReefer]

Quite the nice list!

You have the ph in the overflow to keep detritus from settling?

May be better for the ecosystem to let it build up then flush it down into the sump every 6 months or so.

Decided not to run the power head in the overflow. Thanks!

Stand finished. Installed exhaust fan and DJ power strip. Both are hidden on the rear of the stand.

Hello,
What are the specifications and brand of exhaust fans that you selected. It really looks like a nice set-up.

They look like AC Infinity. Not sure what model he has, but I picked some up on amazon for like $16. They are cheap and pretty nice in my opinion. I hooked some up for the stand ventilation and for evaporative cooling my tank.

AC Infinity off Amazon. I opted for the larger dual fans. I think they were $39.

Are they corrosion resistant? Given the environment, the fans need to withstand the saltwater/salt creep conditions. How are yours holding up?

They seem pretty quality I’m hoping to get about three years out of them before I replace them. I did set my stand up far enough off the wall Incase they needed to be replaced in the future. In my previous setup I had a cheap mini stand alone fan running for five years with no issues.

Thanks for the information. I'm planning on building a stand in the future. This helps.

how are you setting up your heaters with the controller is it a dual stage and can you alternate which heater comes on?

The build quality of your tank looks great. SCA is impressive.

 

[RedReefer]

Running two ink bird heater controllers with only one heater running all the time. Second heater will be set a few degrees off to only come on if the other heater fails

Thanks I appreciate it!Taking my time on this one with my work schedule I’m only able to work on the tank about once a week hope to have water in it in the next couple weeks
