If you need a hand Ira...giz a shout.

orange and purple linckia too!

Thank $%^# someone knows what Im on about!

Coz they didnt think of it.

They are not COMPLETELY silent suphew. I have played with it for hours. They are quiet enough for most I would guess, however I wanted nothing at all and thats what I have.

Good luck with it A.

Said my bit!!

Extra stuff would be secondary overflow system......sounds sensible to me, as any pipework has the ability to block and cause issues. Even the famous DURSO!! Therefore a secondary would be well worth its weight consideriung the price of floor coverings.

Happy plumbing!!

Maybe before you all give it shit, you should come and witness the system first. It is extremely stable and resilient to small changes and self levels also. A slight blockage on the stainless mesh does nothing to the level.

They are not for silencing chim...they are to stop fish going down the Plug'ole" if they jump over the fence!!

The tap is needed in the overflow as I cannot reach it coz of the TV! The top overflow returns to the SUMP.

Go back a few posts. If you have a DURSO...you have a hole. Therefore you have an air injection zone, therefore you have noise. My system has NO noise. NO NOISE. The spare residual overflow will take a hell of lot of extra water if required. I have it set up in such a way the I can pull the whole 32mm unit out of the bulkhead if I am to go away for holidays, thus back to full exit from the 32mm overflow with no restrictions. Suphew, i am not even talking about a DuRSO here. I have gone past that. If you like your durso, you keep using it. If you saw my system in operation you would see how safe it is. I want NO noise, i live in the country and 8000LPH will make a shitload of noise if not done correctly. I messed with the DURSO system for about 6 hours before realising I could not acheive what I WANTED WITH IT. sO i SIMPLY CREATED A BETTER SYSTEM. Even this may be "Bettered" yet.

Sweet, so it will only be the top valve I need to change to plastic, The big one is fully submerged.

Very nice!

Added some more fish yesterday..... One....A Yellow eyed KOLE tang. Awesome fish. As soon as he was put in, my Fire shrimp went to work and cleaned him up!!

Controllable outlet with Stainless grate. 32mm "D" class. (Red valve). (Will keep an eye on stainless other wise will change to plastic). Residual overflow set 40-50mm below spill over zone. This system works incredibly well....I have ZERO noise and the difference between tank and overflow level is around 15mm. If anything blocks or fails the upstand residual will take a further 30% if required. Upon initial pump startup, the residual overflow is used at about 50% of its capacity for about 5 minutes whilst the Main valve adjusts and removes all its air. If the residual was not in place it would spill over before main outlet gained momentum. Took hours to adjust, but once set, stays extremely stable. No spillage onto floor.

my wife would skin my ass if I said that!!

Thanks guys.... Medical grade chemicals that I am using are the same used in Human medicine products. I would say they are heaps better than fish store product. They are pure as pure with no settle out at all.

Central overflow, nice idea. Good for aquascaping.

Is that first picture the sump??? Or your first tank temporarily operating in the new sump?

tomorrow.....

shes tuned......awesome.

more pics brian....

when fully tuned I will show you! All good!
