Yeah it was pretty scary moving that sucker... luckily it wasn't pouring!

[MENTION=3628]BeanMachine[/MENTION] how heavy was the sump? I was surprised at how heavy mine was and yours is twice the size

You definitely need two guys to lift it.

Oh good, I scratched to correct sump. Don't think John even noticed I did that leaning on it when I was talking to him.


All jokes aside, It's a sweet setup Cody. I don't know how your going to clean that bad boy though as its tall!

That tank was heavy and moving it was scary to say the least.

Here are some photos of the 16" Synergy Reef Shadow overflow boxes. These are beta versions as the final product hasn't shipped yet.

what are the you going to use the 6 drains for? how big is each drain?

 

[reefes pieces]

I can answer that cuz I ordered the same box. Each drain is 1.5" and the box is set up for bean animal with one full siphon, 2nd durso style, and 3rd emergency drain. Cody is gonna spend a grip on plumbing with 2 of those bad boys

Yeah man I'm trying not to think about it but its going to hurt. I spent a couple hundred for my 120 when I re plumbed it. Ouch.

I think I'm going with Dark Blue PVC. Anyone have any lying around?

so you'll have 2 main drains? Would you "Y" it into 1 drain? I think tuning Bean Animal with 2 drains into the sump is PITA

When is the Plumbing party? You supply the pizza and beer and a few of us plumb it?

Find me someone who has done it. I have been reading mixed opinions on that. I've also read it would be harder to tune if they were tied together. I haven't found a good thread or confirmation on the best way.

Spray painting plumbing is a horrible idea. Been there done that.
