ok time to get the water lines on the island and waterfall and to fill this with water and take it for a test drive
for the island we were going to use 1/4" tubing but after going through all the trouble to install it all even hooked up to a mag 9 couldn't push water through it , an option was to use a dosing pump but they don't have a lot of flow so....we had to go with a slightly larger tubing at 3/8" diameter
the lines are fed via a " tee " off the jebao 12000 and there are three lies in total for the island and one line for the water fall , this way by using a large return pump we had some extra umfff and set the flow rate properly
once the lines were figured out we used some small pieces of pukani to cover them up and then some fijicrete and sand to hide it and make it not so notciable
you can also get a better view of the epoxy basins we made for the island
one line we decided to not have a basin and flows down into the water line:
waterline neatly hidden down the backside of the island
it works
