Hi all, long time lurker here with a question.
I'm taking advantage of the current situation to move from a 30g tank to a 90g. I'll be using the current 30 as my sump.
I've always used canister filters as the tank was fish only with no sand or rocks. But now the reef itch has taken over.
So my first question I'm looking to setup a Bean Animal style overflow. The question I have is how high above the main drain should I have the secondary drain?
Below is how I have the pipes fitting...
note they look a little skookem as I couldn't get any 90 street fitting so I had to cut down some regular 90s to get them to fit the eclipse L box.
Second question can I paint the parts in the overflow with acrylic paint? Or should I use a different type? I'd like to colour code my plumbing.
Red = emergency
Yellow = secondary drain
Green = main siphon
Blue = return
Last question I got 2 of the Ice Cap 2K Gyres with dual wifi controller will that be enough/too much flow for a 90g?
Thanks in advance for the replies.
