Pluming a fish room

[Pharaoh]

I can't see your image it won't load, but from reading through I think I can help:

What size pipe are you using? 1.5" or 2" hopefully
The best way to plumb a system is in an "S" shape. Go up to the top row and then work your way down in a continuous line. use valves on each tank. leave a valve at the bottom to return to the sump in case you wanna relieve pressure or empty the line. Don't kill yourself using 45's if you only have a few corners to do, not that big of a deal.

Any way you could post up a drawing of what youare talking about. I am pretty sure I understand, but I'm kind of a visual guy. LOL

EDIT: Sadly enough, I'm using 1"

what size pipe were you using?

 

[Pharaoh]

1"

The pump's ports are 1.5" so you should stick with that for the vertical pipe. The horizontal branches can be reduced to one inch pipe.

there is your biggest problem, plumb in 1.5" and you will be fine.

I will make sure to do that. I will do 1.5" on everything up until the tanks. They have to be 1".

CHOMPERS....can you see the pic?

make sure your intake is 1.5" too.

Intake was originally done in 1.5", so I'm good there.

No, I can't open the link either. Something is still wrong with the MFK server. How about take a picture of your computer screen and then post that.
