Reef Monkey
So I thought I would let you all know that Im a few steps closer to my 110gallon reef (two month since I started working on it). I finally ordered lighting today and got an amazing deal on two 250watt HQI pendants and two 110watt VHO acentics. Just last weekend at the Blue Sierras sale I was able to purchase my tank; better than waiting six weeks!
I have an IAP (60X18X24) 110gal with larger center-back stealth overflow (trapezoid). It's almost coming time to plumb this baby and I was wondering how others went about this. I want two 1" durso standpipes. Is that too much to stick in that overflow or will that work?
Here's the think behind it. I want two in order to reduce the flow down each pipe. I am having 2000gph total flow in my tank, but only about 500gph will be going through the sump system (this is based off my skimming capacity with a euroreef 6-2+ run by a 500gph Sedra). SOOOO.... I?m thinking two standpipes would greatly reduce the flow through each, thus reducing noise and micro bubbles by lowering speed of flow and suction. Also, I think the redundancy of having two encase one clogs is just a better way to go about it.
So what the verdict? Anyone with the overflow can house two one inch Durso's ???
Anyone want to help me drill and set the plumbing up
