Soak it all in so you can put it all to use when you plumb the low boy lol! I’m not looking forward to my own plumbing… worst part of setting up a tank!

I like the modular marine ones. But yes they are expensive. I don’t have experience with the other ones so I can’t speak on them, but the Synergy Reef Shadow Overflow was my second option

This is what I found on that stock plumbing and the union you’ll need to change it to standard plumbing

The problem is I’m pretty sure those aren’t 3/4”. They’re something like 1/2” in metric. But 1/2” bulkheads are too big for those metric holes so they’re even smaller than 1/2”

Would you still recommend using only two drains if they’re smaller? I know the drains are in metric but the smaller hole is less than 1/2” because a 1/2” bulkhead is too big. I’d feel better about two drains if they were 1” and 3/4” but a less than 1/2” drain? Never seen anyone plumb a drain...

I think that’s the sump I gave to Eric. These are the specs in case it helps. SUMP SPEC: VOLUMES 16 GALLONS EXTERNAL DIMENSION L x W x H 19.75 x 16.5 x 13 INCHES CHAMBER #1 L x W [DRAIN] 7.82 x 7.09 INCHES CHAMBER #2 L x W [SKIMMER] 7.82 x 7.09 INCHES CHAMBER #3 L x W [REFUGIUM] 16.35 x 3.86...

This. I would not plumb the tank how it is originally. Andy you could use all three as drains and then drill returns, or even just plumb them over the top (less nice aesthetically but if you don’t want to drill).

Why do you say it might still warp?

Do you have the files of what you want?

They haven’t done swaps that I’m aware of. People ask questions/advice here and there and post tank/coral pics but I think they’re more selling forums. Definitely not as community like as BAR. But many of the members here I’ve seen on there.

There’s the Facebook groups that I know a lot of us are also in but I don’t know if that’d count for what you’re referring to

Thanks for sharing that background Arnold. Super interesting to read. I knew you’d done a lot for the club but I wasn’t aware to that extent! Nice to see you still around :) Beautiful tank

I’m going to dig up the spare parts from my DP6500 and see if they’re universal. I assumed they weren’t compatible because the listings for replacement fitting kits are posted for each specific size

Im looking for the smaller union that goes on top and a 1” slip fitting. Are these from a DCP 3500? I think they have different size fittings for different models. I have some fittings from a DCP 6500 but i don't think those fit

Im looking for a fitting replacement kit for a DCP 3500. eBay has choices for other models of that pump but no 3500 I can find. Anyone have any lead?

I think I’m going to make the jump and order some of these for the new tanks… I want 4 MP40s but that’d be like 2k+ total. I can get 4 of the DMP40s for the price of 1 MP40. I feel like that’s a good bargain. Many of the reviews I’ve seen look good so not too nervous about it, especially after...

It does look complicated. I looked it up to see if it was something I could learn but looks like the learning curve would be crazy.

If your tank is new then there isn’t really anything to skim so you’ll get that

Yeah I can’t imagine mixing by hand. I set mine on the stirrer and walk away

*on my way to learn Xenforo* lol In all seriousness, I’m surprised there’s not more tech savvy people in this club considering the general area this club is. Or maybe there is but already have their hands full
