The BM one is similar but has a larger foot print in the sump. I also can’t find a lot of information on it. If anyone uses one (on a Red Sea for this thread only) please share a review/pics
Any more pics on how you mounted it?
Looks really nice! Where did you get the acrylic sheets? Did they cut them for you?Havnt peeled off the backing on the black cover yet! But finished product!
...more progress. Everything had to be re-done! The PVC Glue was jelly like last week and I used it anyway . The more I thought about it the more worried I became. Started fresh with the bad manifold as a model. Made cutting and fitting things in a much easier task. The plumbing is done- just waiting for a couple 45 degree 3/4 inch fixtures to make the emergency drain. Next up I'll start organizing all the cables and electrical and get back to the panels (ala Broafield's original setup) I started back in the fall.

Thanks! Its a little tight in there compared to all the 525XL's out there but with a little planning its possible to keep things from getting cluttered in these 425xl/350 sumps.Great looking sump! I'm picking up my Reefer 350 tomorrow and this is pretty much exactly what I want to do.
Was lazy - here is the connector in question (hmmm...can't edit posts on this forum!). I'm not sure I get what this middle part is or why they included it and maybe it doesn't matter. Makes me curious though!So I'm in the process of setting up my 425xL and I am currently working on both the drain and return plumbing. I've seen the awesome mod of installing the Spears gate valve and new drainpipe (thanks @Broadfield) and followed the instructions posted here. I ordered the return barb connector from Red Sea as instructed so I was a bit surprised to find something a little different than I expected

So, what is that middle part and why is it there? Is that a different thread pattern? I connected the Sch 80 3/4" male x slip (ordered through pvcfittingsonline.com) to both the return connector the tank came with and the newly shipped one and I am not sure I can tell a difference. Any thoughts/ideas? Or is this just what they have always sent? It is hard to figure it out online.
