Are you saying I can remove the 3/4" and put in the 2" slip?

So the unit the guy is selling for cheap near me is the 3/4" model. I was hoping you can just take that connector off and it's 2" but it looks like there are 2 different sizes 3/4" & 2"

This is the one he said it is. I don't see it mention anything about 2" slip that would be great if so-...

Only issue I'm seeing with the guy selling the Aqua 25w is it has 3/4" plumbing. I'll be doing 1.25" and don't really want to downsize. Are Lifegard brand UV any good ? Thanks!

Scared ya with Manteca ehh @Srt4eric ROFL ; )

I guess since the tank isn't up and running yet I'd like to keep Algae under control, but more so bacterias etc. Is UV suppose to be on 24/7 and bulb replaced once a year?

I am looking to this for my 180 gallon build as well. Got off chat with Aqua UV sterilizers and they told me I need their 40watt for my 180gal with 70 gal sump and that for it to be effective I would have to run pump at least 1500-2000gph. I thought this was nuts! I asked them if their 25w...

Ok all, have another question before I really start gluing things together. I was reading the below on reefcentral because it I think describes what I'm looking to do. My 180 gallon reef tank has dual overflows with 2 x 1.5" holes in each overflow for a total of 4. I'm doing something some will...

So on that note should I get the next pump down which is the 15000 or will this work ?

Ok good to know. So the MDP-20000 puts out a max of 13.5psi? Ok cool thanks!

Ya I was more worried about PSI in pipe with this big pump lol

Sorry you're saying Sched 40 ok to use right if pushing the pump hard. BTW I just got the Jebao MDP-20000 what do you all think to much HP or ?? Arvin brought up so good concerns about the pump being too much but always good to hear different pov.

Forgot to add is the 2100gph achievable with Sch 40 pipe?

this was a joke unless he really wants LUNCH LOL

@Arvin R , also said he would come down for a visit and lunch to help drill : )

I agree with you on this, but my bigger question on the return is what size pipe, does my drawing I originally attached make sense? or should I go bigger pipe? Also, I'm fine going over the top, should I use Locline or if not what do I do with the return that goes in?

Maybe I suck at explaining this lol. So apologize for this. @Arvin R understands what I'm doing as he has tried it. see attached file. I'm basically trying to do Herbie Overflows in each of the overflows. So since a herbie has 1 emergency overflow I will have 2 since I am doing a herbie in...

Not sure I follow you here. If I don't use locline, then are you saying the way just pours over the top into the tank? Would it be good to use Locline with the random flow nozzles? Can you also expand on what you mean by you don't think the dual herbies will work ? Thank you

Doesn't a herbie overflow allow for that? I'm totally confused now LOL sorry. But isn't the 2nd pipe on a herbie that is just at the top of the water line considered the emergency ? Thank you
