Doug so glad to have you back in the reefing game and posting. Looking forward to seeing this develop and let me know if I can help at all.

Thanks Mark. I sure will.

Close up of my drain stacks as they sit now.

Hey are you going to put a strainer of some sort on your drains? If so where did you get them?

I,m not sure if I will. Never did on a Duraso before but if I do a bean style I will. Dont know where they sell them, perhaps MOPS. Also if you look on Rich,s site I posted on your thread, you will see the ones he sells but also very nice looking long strainers for them. I have made many but am going to order two from his site along with the strainers if thats the route I go.

The stacks pictured are only half way up

Bulk Reef Supply is where I got my strainers.

Bean would be nice if you're willing to drill the extra hole. I had read a lot on the Bean, and now that I've used it, I'll never go back to anything else. I ran Durso's on my last reef, but when a plug up occurred I woke up to a sopping wet floor. I like the idea of the emergency drain and back up plan, not to mention how quiet it runs without any salt creep.

Yes, I could drill another hole for sure. Left my drill kit somewhere in Brandon though so need a new one from Dan at MOPS, I guess.

I have to go read on them. If I made a 1.5. in drain pipe, which is around a 2.25in hole for bulkhead, would that be my main drain and the other two back up or why the three drains?
