So off to Mexico in a couple of days for a week. Lots of time to ponder the build.
Presently it has a centre weir overflow with 1.5” Durso and 1” return line running across the top to two bulkheads with returns.
have the same setup in my 60 and find the sump noise a little too much so thinking about making the 1.5 a full siphon, cutting the 1” down making it an emergency/bean animal then running 1” up the back to the two returns. I can add an optical or float sensor to the tank so if the unforeseen happens and it starts to overfill the Apex will shut down the pump.
Toyed with the idea of building a closed loop running off a COR15 but I think not. For the cost of a MP40 I could buy another COR15, drill some holes and plumb a nice loop. We’ll see. Seems a litttle too much...
That 1.5 at full siphon will move a rediculous amount of water (2100gph), way too much so seriously gated back. Maybe I should reduce it down to 1.25”....
Have an idea for scaping, please stand by.
Anyway, have most of the equipment already on my 60 so pretty good there. Might add the T5 hybrid to my AP700, plus a couple of bigger wavemakers and I should be good.
Anyway. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts pass them along.
When I get back I’m either adding a box to the stand to raise it or will build a 36” stand with skins. Next is polish and remove some minor scratches on the tank, then all hell breaks loose....
