So far I'll only have the GFO reactor and the bio pellet reactor. Not sure if I'll add anything else in the future so that's why I put in 2 extra ports

Wait, r u talking about where the manifold meets the lines for GFO and bio pellets? Each TEE off the manifold will have a ball valve

Oh wow. Thank you for explaining that to me I had no idea man :/

Oh really? See that I did not know, how come? Well that's how it is now. But I figured the reason behind that was bc i had the manifold on the right side and water didn't have to go thru the manifold on the left side. If I put GFO on one side of the manifold and BP on the other would that...

Well where could I put valves on the returns? Add the end of each manifold?

Anyone? Okay so I know this picture is no where near "to scale" but how's it look for redoing the plumbing? the reason I have the manifold off to the right is because there's a crossbeam under the tank in the center for support. Let me know what u guys think!!

Okay, biopellet users. How long does it take for the reactor to break in? I've heard the reason my tank is cloudy is bc of the reactor. Is that true? I have a total of 1 cup of pellets in there right now. I think I'm supposed to have a total of 3-3.5 cups for my system

Yes sir. I figure I'd take advantage of their 40% off coral sale

Just picked this pretty sweet Easter Egg Chalice today :) acclimating now. Was tempted to buy SPS but decided against it as I wanna let my tank mature more

Nice polyps man, awesome. My most recent expensive coral was the Red Dragon mini colony I got off Jim for $120 but sadly that recently died :(

Good for you! I was gonna start planning out my manifold today while I was at work but we were super busy so I didn't get a chance to.

Kyle, I'll take you up on that offer fo sure lol That's exactly what I plan on doing! I hate having to go to Lowes or home depot 3-4 times in the same day lol

If I can make the space for it. I may redo my manifold. Make it so that the return pump comes up to the middle of the manifold and disperses left and right equally while also have 2 ports on each side for my reactors and anything in the future. Does this sound like it could work?

Yeah I mean I guess my powerheads are, I just hate that the water surface on that side is virtually still and the other side has a ripple. I mean I guess I could point a powerhead up towards the surface but then that'll take away from how I have em in the tank.

Actually, the side that's stronger is longer, its just that the other side the water passes thru my manifold THEN goes to my return.

Well wouldnt a peninsula tank be a lot different than my set up since my returns are 6ft apart and yours are 6 inches? Lol

No biggie John lol

That's what I kinda figured. Guess I'll have to start mapping this out.

Bc I don't have enough hose to(another reason i wanna redo my plumbing). I had the pad underneath of it to level it out but turns out that pad may not have been reef safe. Huh? Lol

Wait I'm confused by that Lol, is that yellowish tubing on the right you're intake?
