drain

Hi guys! I recently bought a new tank, now I’ve been working on plumbing it for a couple days and it’s almost done! Just came across some concerns I noticed my overflow box has water intels above and below (like the drawing I attached) so I’m concerned that my main water drain PVC will drain a...

Setting up a small flat next to my display to house my frags. The tank has an overflow. Is it necessary to include a durso style overflow drain? Or since there is no risk of the tank draining to the bulkhead level is anything needed at the bulkhead? Pictures included.

This is one of four siphon drains. There will also be four backup drains. Is this the appropriate height for the siphons?

Hi all, hope someone can give me good advice cause I'm going crazy lol. I have a 75 gallon sump. I have placed the baffles you see so far the last one is an adjustable gate that I just didn't put in. So I have 1 - 14" high baffle left. I was suppose to put it after the adjustable baffle before...

My bulkhead is the wrong size and I might not enlarge it... I was wondering if a 3/4 drain is enough ? I also need to mention that if I go this route, the 3/4 drain expands to 1" right after the bulkhead since he rest of the plumbing is 1"..

My plumbing is already 1" for the drain line and emergency line but I bought a new aquarium, custom made and I accidently told the guy I wanted 1 1/5" Holes for the drains.... Now I have to go with 3/4 bulkhead and then use a reducer to open back up to an inch... Unless someone knows where I can...

Hi all, I recently bought a 2nd hand Aqua One 120Liter tank with a sump. It's my first sumped tank. It came with a Durso standpipe. Having done some reading, I've decided I want it quiet and drilled a 3rd hole in the weir. Everything seems to function well, however I am not getting air expelled...

I've recently replaced the plumbing on my 135gal. The drain is basically a straight shot on one side and about a 6ft stretch on the other. I want to upgrade the pump to get more flow through the filtration and more flow in the tank. I currently have a jebao 4000. Looking to install a dcq10000 of...

I've gotten my tank drilled and overflow installed and I just finished up plumbing the overflow to the sump and I'm looking for some advice or comments on my plumbing (everything is dry fit and has not been glued yet) This is the side profile. Tape is there just to hold it in place. I've got a...

So this is my first aquarium utilizing a sump. Past 8 years I’ve only had HOB aquariums. My tank is a Planet Aquarium Mega Matrix 310 gallon with center overflow with (2) 1-1/2” drains and (2) 3/4” returns. My sump is an IceCap 48XL. I’m running a pair of Maxspect MJ-DC12K return pumps which...

Hi, I just got my new tank build up and running. I was impressed with how silent the overflow was, how dead silent the return pump was, and how quiet the water was flowing into the sump. However, the actual drain pipes under the tank going to the sump sound like the roaring rapids as the water...

So I have my Planet Aquariums Mega Matrix 310 with internal center overflow. It did not come with any of the overflow plumbing which has (2) 1-1/2” drains and (2) 3/4” returns. The tank is 25” tall. Are they supposed to come with the internal overflow plumbing or was that an add-on for an extra...

So I want to change the inside part of my overflow because I hate it, the box on the outside is fine I guess but the overflow “screen” drives me nuts, so my question is how can I change this to a normal overflow box? Is t possible? The drilled hole is 1 1/2 inches o just want a box inside my...

Don’t y’all hate when you’re floor isn’t level and now you have to drain your qt and move it to a stand you’ve been using for storage. smh

Hi all, i have a 140 G BB-Tank and i think my Dain ist not strong enough, i have a big amount of Detritus swirling around. I have a very strong Flow (3x Mp40 2x Mp10) in the BB-Tank but the Detritus swirling around, i installed a Ultra Flow Drain but it don´t work really good.. What you have...

I was planning to plumb drains and returns with spa flex, but then I saw this at https://flexpvc.com/Guides/FlexHose.shtml under "Description": "Same Size as Sch 40 PVC pipe, Available in White, black or gray. White is NSF 51 rated (but not for potable water) Our main product." Another website...

Sorry I just saw this. Need to clean them all up. I have one Aqua-lifter and some tubing I can include also. Prices do not include shipping. CPR CS90. Newer, purchased after posting this. I was using on a frag setup. (600 GPH)$100 CPR CS50 It will need a new bulkhead unless you want to plumb...

Hello guys I have been working on my 120gallon/40breeder sump forquite some time now. finally time to PLUMB and I have a couple questions. Below are pictures of what I drew. I have been thinking about this for 2 days and I think I have FINALLY decided on the design but would love any...

I've acquired a small reef-ready frag tank with a very small overflow box built in. It has a single 1" hole drilled, center, at the bottom of the overflow. I'd like to know what options I have for drains on this overflow. Is that enough space for a durso drain? The previous owner said he was...

Hello everyone, So i tried to go sockless for a full day just to try and see how it goes. I wa amazed by the big increase in noise levels from the drain line as well as the huge splashing that was going on! I've got an old photo i took before running my setup to give you an idea about where...

I bought a ReefSavvy 21" ghost overflowthat flows 2000 gph for a new aquarium build I'm doing. Of course, my plans changed. It's brand new and was never installed. ReefSavvy doesn't accept returns, so my loss your gain. To get all the info on the overflow, Google: "reef savvy ghost overflow 21"...

I wanted to ask your advice or any tips you may have. My reef has had ich. It killed a bunch of fish in just over a month, then I left the tank with a couple of immune fish for 2 months ( As they were impossible to catch). Well, the immune fish still carried ich and the new fish I added caught...

This is from another post I started but hopefully someone can help me figure out a solution to this issue with my overflow not working:

I have been running a 120 gallon reef-ready reef tank for the past 6 years. For all of this time I have been running with the drain kit that can be bought in addition to the tank. I have switched up the plumbing underneath the tank multiple times but it has always been one durso in each...

hey guys I have a problem with my new herbie drain. The water level in my overflow keeps fluctuating. No matter what I do it goes up and down at first I thought it was because my vortech mp40 was pushing to much water but I was wrong. The way it's plumbed is one 1" main full siphion drain and...
