Ive got the tank drilled , installed overflow box ( glass-holes unit, btw great people to order from) .. now I'm plumbing the sump..
Its a factory acrylic berlin style 100 - 120 gallon sump. The seven inch filter socks, which there are two .. sit.. one on each end of the sump.
The lips of the sock plastic rims sit slightly below the cover of the sump.. My first question is how to plumb the pvc ( 1.5" ) into the socks , where you can replace the socks easily w/o taking plumbing apart. nor have the pipe inlet so high it splashes or sounds like niagara falls.....?
The second question is would ball valves be needed on the inlets from the overflow to balance the flow or would just a single ball valve on the pump outlet be all thats needed to balance the flow through the system?
Im a visual type of guy so pics or links where I can look at your install would be great...
Thank you for reading and responding to my thread.
