Valve is downstairs tank is upstairs... certainly won't be as easy as typical setups and the large pressure on the valve means the slightest turn will make a big difference. I did it that way as well before, thinking it would be better but you can install the valve under the tank, works pretty much the same.
I was looking at your manifold wrong, thought it ran down the back of the tank and not the perimeter. Last edited by sphelps; 03-20-2013 at 07:16 PM.

Looks like a lot of work to tear all that down in a few months.
Looks really good though. Typical Brett Style!

You still need a gate valve if you have a Mitras??? Tsk tsk. Colour me slightly less impressed with that light then.

Return manifold is ON! I did not measure too carefully ahead of time I only knew I wanted the pipes to be as close to touching glass on both sides of the tank. It took me a while to maneuver the thing under the trim lips on both sides but lucked out. pics taken with moonlights on... royal blues really mess with camera sensors lol.
 You can see here why I really liked this trim and why I went with 3/4" instead of 1" for this part. The trim totally hides the pipes.    Last edited by lastlight; 03-21-2013 at 07:30 AM.
