We could probably walk you through building your own - you'd have exactly what you wanted when complete. Here's my last plumbing job....
So you've put flow meters on each port there?

Thank you for the kind compliment!
Yes, those are flow meters on each port of the manifold. They aren't a must-have, and if you do want to measure flow there are a couple different ways...
I find meters do come in particularly handy though for things like UV sterilizers, and carbon/gfo reactors however.
For meters, you also have the ones that go with the Neptune Apex. I picked the ones I used for reliability, and I think they look cooler [emoji41].
Let me know what your thinking, and I'm happy to draw you up a design, and give you a list of materials. There are a lot of options, so we can go all out, or make it budget friendly. Just let me know when you're ready!
Ok il get back here once im ready for material, were did you purchase the flow meters there in your setup?Thay would be great for what im planning in my head cause i would like to run external skimmer.And knowing gph to it would be nice.Im hoping to make my plumbing this time just as pretty as a reef.Thank you for the kind compliment!

I purchased the flow meters from eBay and Amazon. They are the LFM series from Dwyer Instruments. Here's a link to the meters on Dwyers website link below. Use the info on the webpage to figure out which model you want, then find it from one of the vendors sites. Or, if you tell me what you need, I can tell you the model you want and find the cheapest source for you

Type in "Dwyer LFM " into the search on Amazon or eBay.
