plumbing help

left my house to get a video of my tank over flowing with clouds only happens after having return pump on for some time

I am plumbing my new tank this weekend and am looking for anyone with a Aqueon dual overflow setup that could provide a plumbing diagram. Thanks in advance! Josh

I just bought an Avast Kalk stirrer, im wondering though if ill have any issues running it up to the AIO section of my tank from beneath in the cabinet. I plan on having my Versa slowly fill the kalk constantly so it doses a very small amount all day. on the outlet ill have a check valve, and...

Hello! Hoping some of you have ideas / experience in something similar and can offer ideas / experiences! I'm planning on an in wall peninsula display tank seperating a utility and kitchen, with a seperate fish room with the sump and frag tanks in another room separated by a corridor. Below the...

Hello, I recently got a deal on a aquatlantis aquaview 130. This is going to be an upgrade from my 72 gallon bowlfront in my basement, it’s going into the living room so it needs to be silent. Here are some of my concerns with the tank: The return pump plumbing looks to be 1/4 inch, kinda...

Hi Friends, plumbing my first tank and have a question. The overflow box drains have male threads to secure the drains into the box, so is best practice to use, for example, a female x slip union then the drain pipe (thus utilizing the threads that remain protruding after the nut) or simply...

I'm contemplating a large pentagon corner tank build, and want the option to add UV in the future. I'd like to be able to keep the tank flush against the walls, so I am interested in an internal overflow system with holes drilled in the bottom of the tank, rather than needing pipes to protrude...

I have a Reef Octopus CalReact 220 calcium reactor. The pull has failed four times. The impeller is waring out. Every two months like clock work. I would like to change to a different pump. Any suggestions for anyone WHO HAS CHANGED PUMP PREVIOUSLY. Pic of pump and impeller in thread.

Hello I’m currently installing an aquarium in my wall and need some help with the plumbing as I am stuck. Hopefully I have some fellow reefers out there that would like to take part on this journey with me because I could sure use some wisdom. I have a 220 gallon custom tank drilled at one...

Anyone know what size lifeguard bulkheads fit this tank? I got the tank used for a great price, but without the plumbing it’s just collecting dust. I’ve reached out to WB but they don’t sell replacement plumbing kits. Thanks!

Hey Guys - I picked up this custom tank last week, it’s already been drilled, plumbed and running for a year. The way it’s engineered is strange to me - there is a bulkhead drilled into the bottom left corner, and a pipe coming out - around 2” I’d say. Then there is like an overflow tower that...

Hey all, I need some help deciding what tubing to use for someone who has about 150ft of travel distance from their water tank reservoir to their larger aquarium. It's about 140ish feet horizontally and then has a head height of 6.5ft vertically. It would just be for water changes with prepared...

Hello, I've a question regarding the flowrate of my return pump. I'm plumping my aquarium at the moment but the amount of elbows i've used makes me doubting if i will be having enough flowrate through my sump. I've added some pictures below so you understand the way it's plumbed at the moment...

So I picked up one of these random flow generators from Vivid Creative Aquatics, and the slip fit adapter is just a bit too small for my outlet. Taking the existing plumbing there I'm measuring about 20.9 - 21 mm (13/16 in ) in diameter on the inner slip fit that came installed with the tank...

After a very large break, getting back into having a reef tank. In my previous experience, I had a smaller tank, and just used a simple siphon and two Home Depot buckets for water changes. For my new larger tank, I’m hoping there is a solution that doesn’t require me to drag 40g trash cans...

Hi, I am trying to plan out my plumbing for my Oceanic 120 and I am tossing around some ideas about what to do. I have a Danner Mag Drive 9.5 @ 950 GPH (which came with the setup) and a Jerepet SND-7000 return pump ~1850GPH DC pump (probably too much flow) The Danner has what is probably the...

Hello, I am in the design phase for plumbing on my tank. It's 8' x 30" x 30" (~360 gallons) and I have a negative space aquascape. I'm going to have 2 returns, I am planning for 1 return (Abyzz a100) to be over-the-top on the left side of the tank - the overflow is on the left side of the tank...

I have my current return pump manifold set up in the second picture attached, but I have noticed I lost a lot of power due to all the corners, I didn't think this though the first time well enough I guess. So I thought about changing it completely to the new design I drew out in the first image...

I'm setting up a used 120 g tank with a single corner overflow. The overflow has two drilled holes (1" and 3/4"), I'm converting it to a herbie style drain and running an over the top return. My question is, will the 3/4" drain and 1" emergency drain be enough flow for the 120 gallon tank? I...

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to reefing and im currently going from a 40 gal fish only setup to a used 120g tank. The tank has one corner overflow with one drain 1” and one return 3/4”. I got a 40gal glass tank and ordered pre made baffles to build my sump. I am trying to decide the best...

Hello! I am relatively new to the hobby and have a nicely progressing RSR XL300. I’ve added an Apex, Trident and Red Sea Dose 4. My last remaining regular (every 2-3 days) maintenance (other than cleaning glass) is…filter socks. I am interested in either version of the ClariSea and am...

Hi everyone! Unfortunately our biocube has a leak, so we are upgrading to a RedSea Reefer 250. The LFS we went to sold us a Danner Supreme Aqua-Mag Model 9.5 for the return pump. RedSea recommends a flow of 660gph for the return pump. It looks like this return pump would have a flow of...

so I recently acquired an aqua top reef3 cube. It was supposed to be a full setup plumbing included but long story short I only got the tank. It came drilled and I'm having trouble figuring out what size bulk heads to order because the hole drilled for the return is less than an inch in...

Everyone has already been so helpful. So I purchased a Red Sea 350 that already has part #42221 (16mm) connected to the soft tubing. I want to keep everything as is. The issue I have been having is connecting my VarioS 6 return pump to the soft tubing. I ordered another part #42221 but it is...
