Custom Plumbing Feedback - Reefer xl425 V3 Sump and Manifold

[Rudzbrewski]

I just finished my first rough plumbing attempt for my Reefer xl 425 v3 sump. Looking for feedback in ways to improve my plan. Any and all constructive feedback is appreciated.

A few notes from what is shown:
-The manifold will be elevated to top of the cabinet and leave about 3-4 inches above
-The Clarisea and Vectra pump will be connected from the last orange elbow down via silicone tubing to reduce vibration transfer
-2 media reactors will be plumbed with ball valves to the right of the manifold between the skimmer and Clarisea in the picture
-3rd manifold port is for future flexibility with no current plans
-Emergency drain empties into chamber with Clarisea, but not plumbed to Clarisea
-2 media reactors plan to drain into chamber with the return pump

It looks great. What to come over and upgrade mine?

Anytime! Practice makes perfect right?

As a fellow Bills fan, I just wanted to say it looks almost as nice as the Bills future.


Will the return from the media reactors bring bubbles with? If it does, you won't be able to get rid of them in the last chamber.

That is a good point I didn’t think of. I’m not sure to be honest since this is my first plumbing attempt. I’ve just seen them drained to their in previous builds. I could always drain it back into the skimmer chamber on the opposite side of the bubble trap if needed.

Go Bills!
