hi bro, good investment on the rd2. is that a 170W one?

see u will be having 2 return pipes which is very useful.

just to share with you that since u use a check valve, do remember to still drill a hole on ur return in the maintank incase of back siphon.

i experince GF check valve choking due to not maintaining it.

did u check if its ok to use the rd2 with the check valve? as i know it will slow then the flow by about 50% so in long term run will it do any damage to the pump faster then normal?

thanks

hi bro, thanks for the valuable advice and the one i got is the 170W one... I am using FIP piping , so not sure if their check valve got such a problem..Any way i will take note of this and luckily i have installed the union so if the check valve does affect the flow of the RD II , i can still change to a straight piping..

more photos of the piping work..

Deltec... U wouldn't regret it... Unless u break the skimmer cup...

[ReDDeviLs]

if the set frm agent u need not worry.

even breaking the cup that sort of incident is not a problem at all!

I have check with FIP on the check valve concern, the one which i got is a " V " check valve so for those using a " Ball " check valve there maybe a possible problem of the flow restriction and possible pressure build up but for the " V " type it is ok..

Finailly finish up all the piping work today, and finish adding in the water.. will post more update when i got the time..

ok great! await your pic!

Are you using GF piping?

where to get?

thanks

hi H-Mania, nice tank so far, but as for your electrical outlets from the ELCB, what I would have done is to stagger the 2 double sockets at the bottom halfway in the middle of the top sockets, so that the wires from the top sockets' 3 pin plugs will run in between the 3 pin plugs at the bottom, instead of over the plug if there's one directly below it. A much neater overall layout i would think, this i learnt from a reefer from the U.S.. Anyways, good luck for your new tank.

Nope i am using FIP piping, similar quality but burn smaller hole on your pocket..

Good pointer for those who are setting up similar setup, but too bad the hole has been drilled..

nice!!

where you get it?

from RD?

photo of the sump..

[Harlequinmania]

this is a special compartment created to prevent micro bubble problem.. So that all the bubbles will be directed upward before flowing into the next compartment.

[Harlequinmania]

installation of the skimmer.. i installed a valve to control the water into the deltec skimmer in order to control the water level in the skimmer.

[onizukaa]

wow! i love your setup, so neat and tidy, well planned too.

better do some test before "sealing" the pipe for gravitational feed.

more pics!

[comycus]

wow! sump looks v. well thought out! v. well organised.

Will you be intending to remove the wooden planks underneath your red dragon and replace with something else for stability?

[Harlequinmania]

Finally finish all the piping work and adding in the water ! :eyebrow:

Test running the skimmer in action.,
