Plumbing a multi device/tank system

[mathewkofalk]

So im planning a multi tank system my goal would be to run all equipment on one pump. Does anyone know of any good videos or anything that would help show me how to plumb in equipment like reactors and such.

I would recommend building a nice manifold. Just my 2c. I would think you could google it.

yep build a manifold I just built a 6 port 1.5" main with 1" ports

Get a sprinkler manifold, it will save you a lot of fittings and glueing....something like this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-3-...i_kw=&ci_gpa=pla&ci_src=17588969#.UkoVImSDShY

Ok I see the ball valves control flow to each outlet ...so next question how do you size a pump for this. U mean the two tanks plus 4 reactors and a protein skimmer.

im running 3 tanks and one reactor.... as far as size goes, this was 1" input and 3/4 output.

I would get something in the ballpark of a Reeflo Mantaray or Tiger Shark.

Edit: A ReeFlo Hammerhead/Barracuda Gold Hybrid would work as well.
