Hey all,
Here are some pictures of the plumbing on my 220 that I am working on setting up.
So, as you can see, I have three H2Overflows that each drain down to the sump with their own individual 1.5" drain line. Then, I have two of the siphon stopper returns that are each hooked up to their own Rio 20HF pump with 1" tubing that is reduced to 3/4" tubing right at the barb fitting that goes into the bulkhead. Each of the bulkheads are only hand tight. The fittings that are installed into the bulkheads on the outside of the tank are all glued. The fittings for the returns and overflows on the inside of the tank are just compression pushed together, at least for now. I also then have the clamps on the 1.5" drain lines to help ensure that they don't fall out of the sump, and I put a small extension of tubing down into the sump to better gaurantee that the drain doesn't fall out and to hopefully help with the waterfall noise.
So, can any of you see anything wrong with this setup? Is there anything I should change/add? Is there any reason why I shouldn't go ahead and fill this all up?
Thank you
