    Plumbing work

    As you can see I have done a little plumbing. I still need to water test and add the plumbing from the refugium when it is ready. The fuge won't be ready until I move everything from the 26BF to the 75 and drill the 26 for the return line. The ball valve leads to the future fuge location.

    Now for a question.;D
    Where would you have the return from the fuge empty; into the skimmer section, the dsb section or the return. The sump is set up skimmer, dsb then return.

    That's how I was looking at it bama. I didn't want to have a hard time tracking where each line was going and fighting with them if there was a problem.

    It would look better if I ever stop buying corals long enough to finish it.

    Very nice so far! I have the overflow from my fuge dump into the return. I was going to put it into the skimmer section but decided I dont want to skim out any pods. So into the return is my suggestion, or the dsb area if it is after the skimmer.

    Thanks i aim for the KISS principle. I used the straps because I didn't want to let it vibrate or take a chance on the pipe cracking due to weight.

    Thanks. I was thinking DSB area because it is after the skimmer.
