Hey Kien, question for you...

When you had those two sumps under your 131 FOWLR add on, did the 3 bulkheads without valves work well to transfer water into the sump below? I was playing around with ideas last night, and I think that I would like to just have them all open and flowing with no valves.

Yes, they actually worked perfectly. Plus it wasn't that noisy at all. I think because the water flowed out of the bulkhead horizontally, then elbowed at 45 down into the next tank.

Question for you: Do you live in Erin Woods or were you working there yesterday around noon? I ran past a truck that had that Lucky-13 logo on the back. I thought of you.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

No, I live in Douglasdale. Don't frequent Erin Woods at all. And Although I do love the brand, I don't rock it on either of my vehicles

BUT... thanks for thinking of me!

That's what I thought. I've never ever seen that logo other than in your avatar so I thought maybe it was yours. I didn't know it was a brand.

Mocked up the return pump plumbing. Do you think that I should keep the ball valves? I figured they would be handy to cut off water flow if I need to service the check valves.



Also plumbed up the manifold pump and mocked up the fuge tank/frag tank plumbing
