Well i gotta cut the ball valve out tomorrow s gate valve comes in I’ll be adding that onto the “ suppose to be syphon “ line so i can control alittle little my problem is the top portion not sure what i have to do there people tell me been animal but if i look into bean animal you need 1 drain 3 inches down and the second drain 2 inch down i don’t have that room in the flow boxAre you throttling the valve in the siphon line to restrict the flow? Both valves appear to be wide open. That is the first step.
Yah i looked into that build but it appears that one drain is higher then the other in case the flow box doesn’t have that depthIt appears that what you have is a bean animal overflow....but it doesn't look complete. I really don't know the setup, so let's see if we can get more eyes on this #reefsquad
Yes i can add a elbo on the left drain “ full syphon “ and i have a elbo on the right one which is the emergency pointed up if it the box over flows the middle drain i can add an elbo ss well but that would be the same as thd left drainDo you have room to put a 90 degree elbow pointed down on the full siphon line. That would create the three elevations you are looking for. Ideally, you would have another elbow on the normal overflow as well pointing up but with the top below the emergency overflow. This would minimize the water fall inside the box.
Well i cut the elbos alittle made one longer then the other about an inch difference i have a syphon goingIf the water fall into the overflow box is acceptable, then you can leave the normal overflow as is. If you would like a higher level, you might be able to still add an elbow and angle it to one side to lower the level below the emergency.
So i should cap that one and add the gate valve yah? The middle is the second drain i was told to cap it too and drill a small hole to limit the noiseYou are not going to get a full siphon when the drain is open to the air.
