I am sorry, I forgot to reply to your question about the Bean Animal. I did finally get it to run much quieter. I experimented with the height of the pipes inside of the external box and just left the valve open all the way on the full siphon drain. I then adjusted the flow rate of the two Vectra pumps with their individual controllers. I lowered the full siphon pipe to about 1" from the bottom of the overflow and raised the emergency overflow to about 1/4" from the top of the overflow. I have (or HAD) it adjusted to slightly allow water to trickle over the edge of the secondary drain. That was working pretty well until I had to take everything down. I am starting to put it back together now, so hopefully, I can get water in it again soon.Fin - amazing build! I wish I had your patience. I planned to do a super slow build and ended up drilling, plumbing and getting wet in 3 days, haha (much smaller system though).
keep up the great work!
also did you get the bean animal dialed in?
