My emergency is the pipe at the bottom of the picture. After some research it seems that a little water should flow down the secondary drain and the establishes the height in the overflow. When I try to adjust it a touch lower, its always too much and the water is trickling down the overflowLower the water level a little so it doesn't trickle down the line?
It's supposed to be noisy, that way you know water is flowing down the EMERGENCY, and you have an emergency.
I have a gate on my main siphon and a ball on the secondaryBall valve won’t work. Has to be a gate
Ok I'm confused. I have 3 drain pipes. I was under the impression one was main drain/full siphon. The next higher pipe in the overflow was secondary drain. Last highest pipe is emergency. Is this wrong and both high pipes are emergency drains. I'm looking at this as you would a bean animal. Second drain is durso?Why is there a valve on the emergency?
This is the same instructions in the manual. My water just barely flows over the secondary drain line and is silent.The main is the only one you need to control. The 2nd and 3rd just go into the sump. If you have a gate valve on the main you should have no issue dialing the flow to silent in under 2 min
Ok thanks. This makes sense. I had a reef tank a few years ago and just went off of memory. I had a reef synergy bean animal overflow and put a gate valve on the main drain and a ball valve on the secondary. Not sure why I did that. Looking back at the brs videos I followed they didn't. And for some reason I remember messing around with that ball valve. But looks like its a minor whoops and I can just leave it open. Thanks for your helpOnce dialed in the water will or should sit just below the 2nd drain. If it goes into it you will hear it but it’s not loud gurgling. Just enough to alert you that your water level is a lil high.
I’m not home right now so these are only what I have from a month or two ago. You can see my water line in the overflow. I keep it just under the 2nd drain. It slows my system to be quieter when my COR shuts down for feed. Always a couple minutes of leveling adjustment when it kicks back up and this keeps it quieter
Its plumbed to my basement lol. And the price was very similar to the smaller sizes so I just went big. Maybe too big lol1. How tight is that 34 in the 50!?!
2. Yes that skimmer is rated 75g heavy bio load. I would size down as you won’t get a benefit using it.
You can read up on oversizing skimmers, but BRS is great with exchanges. You are going to love that sumpIts plumbed to my basement lol. And the price was very similar to the smaller sizes so I just went big. Maybe too big lol
I'm thinking so too. I really wanted to accomplish what I did with putting it in the basement and being able to oversize but at times I feel like I should've gotten the one you have and put it under the standYou can read up on oversizing skimmers, but BRS is great with exchanges.

Absolutely not the way you have it is preferable. I wanted a fish room.I'm thinking so too. I really wanted to accomplish what I did with putting it in the basement and being able to oversize but at times I feel like I should've gotten the one you have and put it under the stand
