Dear all
As this is my first setup on reef tank, i want to ask you pro's some questions before making the plumbing correctly.
My tank is 500 litres and sump of 100 litres. I am using animal beans overflow system with an outbox of 3 x 32 mm pipes and a return of 25 mm pipe. I have a red dragon 6 m3 return pump and a Teco Tk-500 chiller waiting for setup. My questions are ;
- Where should i put the ball valves ? I read a lot but for having a silence overflow, do i have to use them right below the overflowbox or just top of sump under. Also vertical or horizontal line?
- I want to make a T connection on the return line for chiller and reactor. WHere should this T to be connected for best? Also i ll use valves on the return. I mean do i have to use the first T pipe right after the pump or the valve? DOes it make any difference?
