Well, as is my lot in life for living in this Saltwater desert.
I am waiting on plumbing supplies, one order from Go Reef and another from MOPS. Looking at building a manifold for return and reactors etc.
Stand is almost ready, not taking any chances and giving it many coats
Got eurobraces cut to length ready to attach.
Lots of little projects now
Son's hockey tourney this weekend and wife is leaving in the morn for her best friends 40th Bday, so tank is on backburner till next week..

Received the latest order of plumbing supplies, so I felt that I should get it in gear.

Stand is complete , will skin it out later.







I am going to try a Durso drain on this tank and this is my attempt, it has been suggested that a valve on top would be a good way to control the air and adjust the noise. This is what I have come up with... Can this work ?????? I won't be testing until I get the eurobracing completed and finish plumbing...







Interested in your opinions .....

Heya Wayne
Have you thought about using a Herbie instead of the Durso?
Much quieter and easier to adjust. You already have 2 holes for the drains and a third for your return, so I thought I'd throw it out there. You won't have to run your return over-the-top like so many of us. Plus, you may gain some clearance as Dursos tend to be tall.
I've been testing mine with freshwater for the last 2 weeks and am extremely happy with it.
Here's a link for you to look @ Delphinus' ... scroll down a bit for his pic of the standpipes.

My tank is a 19" 75g. I run my 1" drain about 4-1/2" from the overflow height and the emergency is @ max height to the lip of the overflow.
Both of those measurements include the 3/4" strainers pictured in Del's link.
