Great video my only complaint is the space left between the lines my ocd doesn't ever allow this simple method 😂 I have to run the lines as close to each other and matching as much as possible for a more clean open look but this works just fine if it visually doesn't bother you

Can you elaborate on the gate valve location being as close to the end of the line (presumably the sump) as possible. I have heard the exact opposite of this and noticed in the video there is at least two shots where the gate valve is immediately off of the drain box (so very close to the beginning of the system). Thank you for taking the time to explain in more detail, I greatly appreciate it. I’ll be installing my new drain pipe next weekend so I want to plan for the “best practices”. 😊

@exoticmarinesystems78082 жыл бұрын
Because the gate valve is still partially closed, limiting the amount of water that can flow through it. There is still some amount of water flowing down the open channel (center), so it is setting the height of the water in the box.

@@nicwilliams00 I would need a little more information on your setup. But the usual culprits are using plumbing that is too large for the flow rate you have. Also, how far down into the sump water does your siphon line extend. You want it to only go down into the water about 1". Do you have the valve set up at the end of the line, or at the top right below the overflow. You want the valve as close to the sump as possible.

Great video! Question: 1. Do both of the siphon lines need to be under water in the sump to make this overflow work? 2. Is one gate valve on the main siphon line good enough or do I need another one for the secondary line
@exoticmarinesystems78082 жыл бұрын
They aren't both siphon lines. Only the right one is. The other is an open channel that shouldn't have a valve on it. The siphon line should have a gate valve on it, as close to the bottom of the drain is as reasonable. They technically do not have to be below the water line to function, but they will be extremely loud and splash water everywhere. The siphon line needs to terminate just below the water line, so that it can easily purge all the air out of the line when it starts. The open line (left hand pipe) can end at any depth under the water.

Agree... Best video on this topic. It took me a month of research and collecting info from different vids & forums to acquire all the best practices you have in this one video... esp. The siphon drain pipe 1-2" below the water line.. enough to quiet but not enough to prevent air purge. Also the gate valve at the end.. the more unrestricted pressure you can build up..the more you can get out of each size drain siphon. Same idea, even ifvgoing with 1" drain... you can plumb everything 1.5 until in the box and down the back and THEN reduce to 1" on drain once entering the sump/stand area.. this pressure will make it easier to start &vpurge your 1" main drain & maximize gph.
@TiredOfY8 ай бұрын
you won't gain gph by doing that as the tubing still ends with the same width it'll just add more weight to the suction it's also what many people use in racks so they don't install drain boxes... drill all tanks with 2, 2" holes one for overflow and another as backup the 2" goes into 4-5" piping creating pull weight and this way they only need a sponge inside the tank...it requires less maintenance because of the gravity weight pull each tank have a ball valve for the drain so that if a tank in the rack somewhere breaks...leaks whatever the reason... close the valve and just unscrew the drain off the tank and replace it this way the entire rack keeps running the issue with that is that you need a much larger sump because the main drain pipe runs underwater so the sump will have to accommodate for that or just use the entire bottom rack as the excess water hold backup...something like making the entire bottom rack a 'sump'

Great video! One thing on the strapping, depending on the pad under the aquarium you might get a bit of compression as the tank fills up. This will apply pressure to the overflow box since your pipes are bolted to the stand which isn't moving as the tank compresses towards the stand. Might think about strapping after the tank is full.
