• We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
IMG_2772.JPG Intake from FX6, and from sump with back pressure throttle. Pond UV pump sterilizer rated for a 1500 gal pond. This will also be where I use small pillow cases full of peat moss. Will also house as many 200 to 300 watt heaters.
 
IMG_2776.JPG I underestimated how much space is needed for plumming. I was hoping to avoid 90 deg turns

Next stand build 8" lumber. I will do all the plumming into the stand before moving on!!
 
IMG_2785.JPG System running. Neseds a little tweeking.

I cant fully run it untill i get the Water parameters for discus. On bipass.

Glad I put a back pressure valve in.
 
You have been busy. As far as 90's vs 45's I seen a test on this subject and it turns out that 45's are only slightly more efficient.
The test was done with a mock setup and plumbed with a 90 the flow was measured then the 90 was replaced with two 45. The 45 only improved the flow by 3 gallons in the same time.

Now I know that would add up but what I'm saying is don't worry too much about it.

Thanks, I was worried I was choking off my flow.
 
Good stuff!! Love the big manifold!
