Some pics of the piping set up that i would like to share....

Running dual overflow 40mm pipe to one side for ease of maintainence in future....Internal skimmer shall be sitting in the centre compartment.

cr/co2/fr not hooked up yet. FR will be running tmr to prevent escalate po4........

LHS view of the dual overflow pipe, notice the 45 degree bend.....

[reaper78]

Return pipes, 'Tee' off to the CR/Chiller........

[reaper78]

Another shot at the return pipe back to the main tank. Right now i have 2 returns but i probably settle for 3 returns since the chiller be returning direct to the main tank. The overflow compartment quite noisy, sound like a mini waterfall. Probably be adding a buffer to subdue the noise...

Diy by vincent to minimize bubble mist...so far working effectively....
