Red sea g2 250 problems

[OctaviusBrine]

a bit unsure of what you mean, are you thinking of the connection to filterrol? the wheel on the gate valve hits the door, so a solution must be found. The glue....kept waiting 8 hours, worked like a dream, no leak

Ah I see what you mean now. Loosen it at the bulk head and twist the whole pipe more towards the back. Mine fit with no modification.

Sure I’ll see if I can find the post that I posted it on.

There are two ways to do it.

First way is the way I did it you will need
1) 1” spears slip to slip gate valve
2) 32mm to 1” slip connector
3) 1” pvc pipe
4) 1” union optional I would recommend
I have mine hard plumbed into reef mat so I needed a 90 degree fitting as well. I can walk you through that if you have one.

Second way you can go is use a different slip I’ll attach another pic that shows you that way.

Here is the other way I didn’t go this route.

@Jaycee1964 let me know if you have any questions.

Did this today on my tank. Wow. What a difference. Highly recommend.

I went a little different route.. I used a union to the 32mm where I cut. I also reused the bottom piece from the diaphragm to my reefmat but will eventually hard pipe it.

unfortunately, I still spend almost every day adjusting the valve. will not choose red sea again unless they find a real cure for the problem. are there other aquariums that are as silent and do not have the problem? What do they do differently?

What are you using for a return pump? When was the last time you cleaned it as well?

After some adjustments, it stays in place for now. I'm using a Royal exclusive Red Dragon X 85W, running at 2070 RPM or about 2100 L/h. When did I last clean the pump? I've never cleaned it

From this tread I sea that the pump fas instald around 29 januar 2024

Do you have a lot of power heads pointed at the surface ?

This is something that causes mine to get out of wack

 

[OctaviusBrine]

Depending on dosing and over sump condition cleaning of pumps vary. I clean mine twice a year I use my apex to see how much electricity it’s using as well if it’s dirty it draws more power.
