Replacing Red Sea valve

[lickyricky]

Hi guys,

I'm retrofitting my Red Sea Max E to fit a trigger cube. They say this valve is a "precision valve" which clicks as you spin it. My question is, can I remove it completely and replace it with a different valve and still be able to control the water level enough to stabilize it? It takes up too much room and I'm having a hard time routing the down pipe to the inlet on the trigger.

Use gate valves for best flow control

IMO, cut the valve out and use a gate valve in it's place. Then you can route your plumbing to fit your new sump.
