I'm going to looking for some plumbing help. I've never had a tank with more then one drain, and I've always used a upside down elbow with egg crate wedged in as my overflow.

Tank has 2x 1.5" drain and 2x 1" returns. I guess I will be running a herbie system?

Looking good sir

Yup. Herbie. Those are super easy to plumb. Make sure you glue everything lmao

All the diagrams I see are for holes drilled in bottom of tank. Mine are in the back of tank.

You just need an overflow box inside the tank or you can do a small Calfo weir inside and an external box

I think I'm set. Just need to order my bulkheads. This is the overflow that came with tank.

Had to just see how much room I have. Tanks set in temporary.

Nice. I didn't know you had a box lol.

Does that box line up with the two holes in the back?

Perfect, I've not seen one with duel returns.

 

[reef keeper]

The elbows in the box point up or down. Then you 90 down out of the box. For returns just y them at the top of the stand and bring them up to the return holes.

Halide users, what do you mount your ballast to as they get quite warm.

I put mine near the popcorn kernels so that I always have fresh popcorn.

From Mr. Halide:

I just put them on top of my cabinet.

Near my popcorn!

I would mount them on the wall, away from any water source. Interesting to see the camera in the ceiling.

The picture of the over flow is kinda funny, I mean the bulk heads look very close to the over flow, I imagine it's a slim profile box but theres an acrylic piece on the back. Do those bulk heads go right through that solid piece. I'm thinking you're gonna have quite a bit of noise in the over flow area either that or have low flow. I'm probably not seeing it right.
