bean animal

Do I need to support the plumbing coming from the overflow? I’m doing bean animal so there are a lot of pvc. But it coming straight down and forward.

I am planning to setup my first saltwater, I have gotten my hands on a 60 gall cube and ESHOPPS Prodigy with two drains hole for the aquarium and it can be arranged in bean animal configuration. I am planning to use ESHOPPS RS-75 as sump but I noticed it has only one drain inlet. My question...

Any thoughts as to whether or not this bean animal can be further quieted? Youtube video So the pipes on the left and right side of the overflow are the return lines, the one with the elbow in the middle is the durso secondary, and the black one right of that is the emergency. You can't see...

Just getting back into the hobby after 25+ years… yeah, been some time from the days with the only cycling technique being the obligatory, sacrificial Blue Chromis. So, we are planning mixed reef and starting with the display tank (+/- 80 Gal custom) and a quarantine/hospital setup (possibly...

Hi everyone, I’m planning a bean animal backpack overflow on my new build, and also want to include an automatic fleece roller (the only style available here is pictured). Any suggestions on how to plumb the two return lines from the bean animal into the fleece roller? I’m sure someone must...

Hello! I've used Bean Animal overflows allot, but in this case my sump will be in another room and the pipes will need to run about 6 feet over to it. Is it still possible to have a Bean Animal overflow achieve full syphon reasonably fast, and stay just as quiet with the sump 6 feet away? I...

Hi all Ive had my bean animal set up for about 9 months. Lately it’s taking a lot longer to purge and level out after I feed. Ive cleaned the pipes in the overflow, didn’t find that much detritus and when my gate valve or ball valve is open independently the flow seems to be good. Does anyone...

I've read as many posts as I can find (including Bean's original thread) but I can't seem to get some of the subtleties. I've implemented it pretty much as Bean did in his original thread and I've got it tuned and it seems to be stable. It's on a 90 gallon display tank that's two feet by two...

Hello all! I just bought a used system off someone and have been trying to get it all up and running over the last few days. Today I was finally able plug in the return pump and try to dial in the overflow, but holy cow was it super loud. Like loud to the point that I woul get rid of the tank...

If you have an Elos tank with the Quiet drain system please share your thoughts on its noise, safety, and overall performance. I currently use a Herbie overflow system with an ecotech vectra pump. Unfortunately, the vectra is occasionally inconsistent in its output, yet the Herbie system is able...

Hi I'm setting up a bean animal to an aquarium with a return pump 8.000 GPH what size of pipe should I need to use? 3 x 2"

I just configured this overview and I basically had to put the water level in my overflow box extremely close to the tank water level in order to prevent all of the noise from the water falling into the overflow. Also my emergency pipe has about 1/8 " clearance from the water line. Does this...

I am building a small frag tank, no fish. The water volume is going to be only around 80 litres (18 gallons) The overflow box is only drilled for 2 x 1 inch pipes. Am I better to install a Herbie or a Bean Animal but without the emergency standpipe? Would a Bean animal be ever likely to block...

I have a new Planet 120 that is being delivered tomorrow, and I'm working on my plumbing design. It is an internal overflow box that is pre-drilled with 4 holes (2 x 1" & 2 x 3/4"). It is obviously ran this way to run 2 drain and 2 return. I've ran Herbie before with great success, but I like...

Planning to have several tanks sharing a single sump (1 100G, 1-30 and 1-25). The 100G has a three pipe Bean Animal overflow box, and the two nano tanks use two hole "Herbie" style overflows. The 100G won't be plumbed into the sump immediately, just the 30 and 25G. I suppose I could just add...

Hey all, Starting to plan my plumbing... I'm doing bean animal. Both main and secondary drain will go into socks in the first chamber. Does it matter which part of the sump the emergency drain empties into? Instead of the first chamber, is there any reason I shouldn't plumb into the...

Doing a bean animal setup, and I'm considering swapping out the durso that is supposed to be used for a stockman standpipe. The stockman has a smaller horizontal footprint, and I could use a coupling from Lowes to make either adjustable.

So, my tank is already drilled with overflow boxes. I have 2 internal O/F boxes with 2 holes in each. Now, my question is, can I run Bean Animal like it is, and if so, how? Or should I try to replace my existing boxes with the internal/external boxes that have the 3 holes drilled in the bottom...

Good afternoon R2R friends, I was hoping to get input from others that are running a single 16" shadow overflow on a larger tank, preferably something around 240g. Running the one overflow would greatly simplify the plumbing and definitely cut down on some of my costs. I am shooting for 5-7...

This is my full siphon on Synergy overflow. Is anyone running a flow sensor on their full siphon line? It seems no matter how closed down my gate valve is, I get sharp drops in flow. No air is making it into the lines, I have a steady trickle on the secondary drain line.

I started my first saltwater tank in January of this year. It is a 20L with a DIY AIO filter. I built my own stand and made sure it was large enough to eventually upgrade to a 40B if things went well with the 20. Well I have been waiting for a $1 per gallon sale for weeks and finally got my 40B...
