1100 set up

So far I’m happy with the results. Still very easy to change. Just one extra step when I’m replacing the filter. Removing and replacing this device is quick.
There’s always scrap PVC on my projects lol. Typically I measure once and cut twice. I’m not a pro. Nothing goes to waste though. All my scraps go into the bio tower.

Dream tank right there. I went and saw it in person and it was epic. Nothing more fun than designing and setting up a new system. Even more so when the tank is as large as yours.

I decided to move this massive air pump to the other side of the wall, my garage do to noise. What an improvement! The above pic is pre move

its removed from the shelf here and I extended the plumbing around this wall

Here’s the pump now in my garage. Totally out of the way and I can’t hear anything inside the house!!! So happy.

I have a bulkhead leaking under one of my overflows. Worst case scenario, this is the over flow closest to the sump. Lots of plumbing in that area. Trying to get my hand in there with any kind of tool is impossible.

I have a 1” styrofoam pad under the tank. It just occurred to me all I need to do is cut away that styrofoam for super easy access to that bulkhead.

Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

Nice...looks like you downgraded from a huge PITA to a manageable PITA lol.
