SRC Member iceman Posted December 18, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2006 The piping was done by Geo-Aquatic using GF++ piping, very neat and tidy. Here a pic of the overflow to the sump. Quote My Decom Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member iceman Posted December 18, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2006 The return pipe. I'm not using any check valve cos it will cut down the flow of the pump. Here's a view of the sump. Quote My Decom Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member iceman Posted December 18, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2006 The overflow box. The clear pipe is actually the piping for the skimmer not using it so use it for the overflow. A full tank shot. Can see that the glass is very clear Quote My Decom Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
