My eel is about 24" and very strong. Im not sure he could get hurt by the intake but like I said, I was going to do a test and see how hard the suction is. Because I will be putting this project aside for a few months now, we have decided to sell the porc. I think when this does get set up, it will just be the S&S and the eel. Just makes things easier having the one fish!
Anyways...That test will not be happening for a while now. Your right about the valves on the output and input of the closed loop pumps. Thats exactly why I wanted to post everything here and hope people caught these kinds of things. Well, it would not be very hard to cut out a section of the input and add a valve but for the output, theres no room between the union and reducer. I will not have the time or desire to fix this until after the new year when I will be taking 3 months off work. I am working about 60 hour weeks right now and just do not have the time. I needed to have this tank done by last weekend before I picked up all this freelance work but it obviously did not happen, so I have no problem waiting until January to finish this up. Thats just the way things go I guess...
