Proteus' Shallow reef build

[Proteus]

Got my pump yesterday. I picked up a speedwave 1320 gph. I finished the plumbing but was disappointed as I wanted to put in a small manifold to run reactors but didn't have the room. I guess I'll have to run a small maxi jet for reactors.


So tank got wet now that I can do leak test. Right away I had two leaks in the directional bulkheads. When I too them apart I noticed that the rubbers are half the size of a regular bulkhead. So I siliconed the rubbers in place and made sure the bulk heads are centered. If they fail again I will go with standard bulkhead with loc line attached.

Tanks wet!!!!

Have one tiny drip on bulkhead which ill fix tonight. I really love these bulk heads. Makes me question the mp10s if there needed. At full bore from the pump the current makes wave bounce off the front on tank. The speed wave pump is great so far. The loudest part of the sump is the drain into filter sock.

Ill let the tank circulate for a few days the drain and set up a plan to transfer.

Ok I found three small plumbing leaks. Would it be best to use syringe and PVC glue. Or silicone

And to euro brace or not to
