    My buddy came over to help me check out the electric situation. Hooking up a dedicated 20 amp circuit for the tank this week. Also moving the ro/di unit so I'm hooking up a shark bite into the water line with a ball valve. Pics to follow.

    Looking good. I've been wanting to put my tank on a dedicated circuit and add another outlet just haven't gotten around to it.

    It is certainly a good way to go if you can reasonably do it. You are doing this one up right Dbo! It looks huge...

    Thanks. Yeah nows the time to do it since the tanks empty. Should be a easy job.




    Thanks thor! Getting pretty excited to get it running, hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks.

    Got both tanks under the tank today. Got about 6 inches of room left over under this 7 footer. Tight squeeze. [​IMG]

    Question guys... This is the manifold just dry fit right now for my reactors. Do you think with the way it is now (t for return before manifold) it will be ok? Return pump is a mag 24. [​IMG]

    Nice work on the manifold.
    I'm not sure if it matters where the T is or not. I'm putting my return and ball valve after the T. My thought is I won't have to shut my pump off to kill flow to my dt when needed. I'll close the ball valve and still have flow to my reactor.
