Dbo's 210g Build

Wow can't believe I didn't realize this. I am using one of the ports for water changes so I definitely need to put the ball valve after the t. Thanks.

 

Haha I didn't think about using a port for water changes. Looks like I'll be adding another port to my manifold. Thank you!

 

20 amp dedicated circuit and rodi hook up done today. Now to finish the pvc work. Hopefully this week I can start adding water!

 

woo hoo!!!

 

Thanks for sharing my excitement ofk lol
got the return plumbing done, tonight ill do the drain plumbing.

 

Pvc done.

 

Nice and clean! I am curious to see how the drains do with the 90° angles before running flat. Obviously the flow rate will be greatly reduced, but assume you took that into account.

 

Thanks man! yeah I realize the 90s will cause a little bit slower flow, but I have a ball valve on the return pump and I have a ball valve on all 3 return lines back to the tank so I should be able to fine tune it pretty well, at least in my head that's how it works out lol from my 100 drawings I did for the plumbing on this thing this is the best I could come up with, I will only use pvc so any flex pipe was out of the equation for me.

 

looks real clean.. what are you waiting on as far as equipment.. I am looking forward to seeing some water in that tank as I am sure you are also.

 

I already have all the equipment right now. all i need is salt and sand. This is in the new house basement I'm moving into so I am painting the wall behind the tank before I fill the tank. Also I'm moving this weekend so I need to concentrate on the move also. I'm shooting for Sunday to hook up my rodi unit to start filling the tank. It's kinda tough cuz my 100g is currently running at the old house so as you can imagine I'm loosing my mind lol
