Looks great - and those 1in RFGs are goignto flow this tank nicely given the position they are in. The only thing you may need to do as add a segment or two of 1in modular hose between the nozzles the the MPT fitting to drop them just a bit lower below the water line. However, I would wet-test it first just to be sure before adding that in.Okay! Plumbing dry fit is all done!
Beananimal overflow (primary and secondary drains are both 1.5”, emergency is 2”) and 2 1” returns with @Vivid Creative Aquatics Random Flow Generators.
Now that it’s all dry fit, I need to glue the pvc. Then I’ll use Weld-on 16 to attach the weir to the black acrylic sides of the overflow box. The lid of the overflow box fits perfectly but won’t be attached — will keep critters out but will still allow me to access what’s inside. I’m also putting black acrylic across the back of the tank behind the overflow/plumbing box to keep light out and prevent algae.
Look at all these new reef toys! It’s better than Christmas in here!

Either way, we are now following along
Perfect - 1in below the water line will be more than enough.thanks!!! I left 1” between what I believe will be the water line and the top of the RFG. If I need to I’ll grab that modular line from you though. Glad to have you!
Also, I love that you INCLUDED the siphon break on the nozzle and designed it in a way that it won’t spray water all over creation. So great.
Thanks — I’m totally bummed about it! But, stuff happens and that’s why we test.Nice build, very interesting. Like you innovative use of securing the plumbing. Sorry that if wasn’t water tide the first time around. Understand very well how frustrating that is.....
Thanks! I ended up going with a pair of Kessils over it, so I could totally grow our frags in there. Would you believe I hadn’t even considered this? Thank you!Nice job! I love the idea of the separate refugium/frag tank/extra space. This is what I'll be doing for sure!
