Maybe my eyes adjusted cause I just checked my tank again and can't see any disco effect from the Mitras. Maybe your tank is too small, have you tried switching that out yet?

And where are you...

Pics look great man and I can't believe you got that tank looking so good already. Looks like it's been setup a lot longer than 30min :surprise:

You're still way off, the velocity at the valve and in the pipe will be the same regardless (delta z is equal for both cases), the formula you linked doesn't take an internal pipe into account,...

Ha, I know all about that. Keep the saw down until the blade stops moving. You usually get a kick back by lifting it back up with the blade still going full tilt.

Glad you got everything working.

Completely false in regards to how pressure works, basic fluid mechanics here guys it's very simple.

First off don't lower the full siphon pipe yet (primary, one with gate valve). This won't increase head pressure or flow, this is set by the gate valve and nothing else. Lowering the height will only...

Have you seen the size of this guy's sump? I doubt he needs to rely on check valves but they are nice to have.

Second what thickness of glass are we taking about here, $2.8/sqft sounds like 3mm which isn't thick enough for anything really. You'll need 10mm for 30"x30"x16"...
