Yeah, post some pictures if you can. You might want a bigger pump. I've got lots of suggestions for you, however it'll have to wait until I can get to a proper keyboard. I'm on lunch and need to get back to the slavery, lol.

Well my day slaving away it almost done! :biggrin:

I'll post a pic of what I've got done so far later tonight.

I still haven't glued the baffles in the sump yet... as I want to figure out what pump to run :)

Good call on the baffles. I'll send you an add, as to not clog up your build thread!

Update Nano Project
 
i'm one step closer to water :)

I got a piece of acrylic cut to prevent my fish from entering my overflow area.

I'm happy with it :) I silicon them last night.

Also installed the baffles on my sump.

Next plumbing, anybody know where i can get a slip 3/4 PVC to barbed fitting to run my media reactors?

What size tubing do most of those reactors run?

I think the majority of reactors run half inch ID. Everything is looking good so far!!

Return Plumbing
 
busy day today :)

I got all my returned plumbed.

2 ball valves on oposite ends to control flow to each nano.

The one in the middle for the reactor.

Then added aone lower for Water Changes (dump water)

Let me know what you think?

I'm working on the drains now! Pic to come.

System might see water tomorrow :)

Drain
 
Here's my drain... i'm using flex from the tank to the bottom of the stand. Then rigid PVC to the sump. Any thoughts?
