Anyone have any feed back on spa flex tubing

 

[DyM]

Flex tubing is fine for the return, I'd keep it redundant and go double all the way. This way you could have one with an adjustable syphon. I think it's called the Herby overflow.

Thanks. Going flex for most of it. And decided to do two returns just for that reason.

Fish room plumbing

I really dislike plumbing. Did not know that home depot and lowes have different kinds of unions and I can not mix the same size unions

 

[deboy69]

Let there be water!

 

[deboy69]

Does anyone know how to calculate water flow? Just want to know how much I'm returning from my pump after check valves and 90s

Maybe the link in this thread will help

 

[deboy69]

Thanks but I think I will just have to do the 5 gallon bucket calculation. I don't have a way to check psi

Thanks. I m not sure about the rock work. I have lots of overhangs and hiding places but it maybe a problem with detritus in the back anyone have suggestions or just play it out and see how it goes

Update...
Found a used Tunze Wave box 6215 online and a Mak5 pump off ebay for cheap to power my PM bullet three. I am also fighting the Dino fight right now. And looks like I'm winning the battle just hope I win the war. Running 3 ai sols right now and got a naso tang in qt. Tank is looking great especially after the Dino fight.
I have to find some used doors to finish off the canopy and trim work but it's looking better than I thought it would.

Thanks ended up doing a diy ai sol bracket that worked pretty well for me. Think I need to add one more light though

Thanks, I'll defiantly have to make it by. I'm still working through ideas for my own.
