building a plywood. 1st step research.

[Ceahorse]

I have a few questions that id like some opinions on.

1 if i already have a 3000L/H pump, whats the max/sugg volume of the tank. (including a sump.

2. Im thinking of making a tall tank, but im worried about vacuuming, any suggestions.

3. any one come up with a PVP pipe design for the sump bevils (spelling ) The walls that kill the bubbles and even out the currents.

Thats all for now. Thanks dudes.

That measurement is at zero head (height). And this would turn the a 3000l tank water over less than once per hour. It's usually 3-5 times per hour, equaling 1000l to 600l tank.

2. Im thinking of making a tall tank, but im worried about vacuuming, any suggestions.

Extensions on the vacuum pipe? It just takes longer to do the work as it is slower moving.

3. any one come up with a PVP pipe design for the sump bevils (spelling ) The walls that kill the bubbles and even out the currents.

Translation or pix please

Ill be making a sump but ill used a container that doesn't have a flat bottom and tapered walls where the bottom is slightly thinner then the top (opening) Like a big square bucket. SO to cut and seal walls in the sump for bevels are painstaking and annoying. i was hoping to use somesort of piping to accomplish the purpose of the walls inside a sump tank.
