How To Set Up A Bean Animal With A Modular Marine Overflow Box

Smite

I'1000 trying to wrap my head around how to plumb my 180g tank. Its getting fitted with a Modular Marine 2400gph external overflow box. My sump is 42" long and centered in stand. I'd similar all three drains to fit on the right side of my sump and in order to exercise that the farthest will have a couple ninety degree elbows in the run.

Would it be best to make the run with the most 90 degree elbows my full syphon line to reduce noise?

Well, why practise you desire all three drains to get to one side? I have my emergency drain dump straight into the refugium area of my sump (roughly in the eye) so I can hear it making noise if it starts flowing. Only the total syphon and open channel (Durso) go to a chamber overflowing into the filter socks.
While folks advise avoiding 90 deg elbows information technology worked fine for me on a smaller 40 B where I was constrained by bachelor space to plumb.

Consider using flex PVC - that's all I use on my system now.

I really like the look of difficult plumbing under the tank, but I am considering transitioning to braided tubing/or flex pvc up the back of the tank. With three 1.5" drains I'd like to take some difficult plumbing to strap and relieve some weight off the overflow box.

Well, why do yous want all three drains to go to one side? I accept my emergency bleed dump straight into the refugium area of my sump (roughly in the heart) so I can hear information technology making noise if it starts flowing. Only the full syphon and open aqueduct (Durso) get to a chamber overflowing into the filter socks.
While folks suggest fugitive xc deg elbows information technology worked fine for me on a smaller 40 B where I was constrained by available space to plumb.

Good to know. Its mainly just to keep a clean look and avoid some of my manifold valves near my refugium. When information technology comes down to information technology I'yard office over aesthetics and so that'll be my option 2 if I can't make the bends work with the space I take. I did plan on having the E-drain drop between my bubble trap and so a trouble would exist noticeable correct away.

Is you arrangement still pretty placidity with the elbows?

I've got 90s on mine. Works just fine.

I've got 90s on mine. Works only fine.

Yep. Unless yous are running correct up the limits of your plumbing, it doesn't thing much. I would probably use 45s on the return lines though.

Mine goes in the basement. But here is mine on a 400g.. 45deg fittings will work bette than 90deg.

Mine all get to the left side of the sump, considering that is where the sump is drilled for the drains. Hither is how I am doing mine. However non completed nevertheless.

LOL, I gave up on sump aesthetics decades ago. You should be supporting plumbing regardless of what course you lot cull. I'd avoid vinyl tube - affront fittings are flow destroyers.

Great looking systems everyone! What is everyone's overall stance of the modular marine overflows? Too, how about some pics of inside the box? This is my first external overflow and so information technology'd be great to become thought for that

Im thinking I'll separate the e drain simply open to opinions

Groovy looking systems everyone! What is anybody's overall opinion of the modular marine overflows? Also, how about some pics of inside the box? This is my first external overflow so it'd be great to get idea for that

I think information technology looks really nice and neat. Y'all can put the emergency drain anywhere you want it. It will only be needed if the other ii clog, which volition hopefully exist never. It should be someplace where the splashing coming from information technology tin be audible enough for you to detect that something is non right though.

My buddy has his E Bleed get to return section of sump... when I asked he said the bubbling showing upwardly in brandish is groovy notification of a trouble. Wish I had pics/vid of it but he showed me by blocking the siphon and Durso; sure enough tank starting filling with micro bubbling as the e drain dumped direct over the return pump and they were shot back into the DT. I volition be doing the same

Gonna resurrect this dead thread.

I would also like to see what everyone else did internally. There isn't a ton of room within the box so I'g wondering how to tackle it. I'm hoping to first plumbing this night and so any pics would be appreciated.

Same here- tank but arrived.

I am no plumber, only I Recall information technology's supposed to be something like this. I main siphon (I have strainer on it) that has a ball valve to adjust, one herbie bleed that gets a trickle, and then i emergency drain.

I have no idea about the heights though...

TARHEEL78

I only put 3 straight pipes in and adjusted the flow on the main siphon so it didn't empty the overflow as presently as h2o came in. It's not silent just its not loud enough to carp me. I'll quit beingness lazy eventually and add together some boosted plumbing pieces so I can plough the flow support some.

@TARHEEL78

Mine is pretty much this, although I used two 90s and left out the airline from the secondary.

For heights, yous have to play around with it as every arrangement volition be different.

I gear up emergency drain nearly 1/2" below the rim of the overflow (checked to make certain it would handle full book and it gets nearly 1/8" from the top).

Secondary drain was adjusted to keep a trickle coming down, with waterline 1/4" from height of emergency.

Main is just a stub with a strainer.

TaylorPilot

Add another 90 to the durso and so that it remains under h2o, and loose the airline tubing. It isn't needed in this setup.

Silver14SS

Add together another xc to the durso so that it remains nether h2o, and loose the airline tubing. Information technology isn't needed in this setup.

That's the secondary bleed, this setup is more like a Bean Animal than durso.

My primary is 2 90s, secondary is two xc's with the airline, emergency is open up pipe.

TaylorPilot

@Silver14SS A durso is a type of stand pipe. Yous tin can utilise either a durso or a stockman in either setup. Yes, what you are describing is a bean fauna setup with a siphon, open channel and emergency. You want to add another 90 to the open up channel, so that the stop is under the h2o, and remove the tubing. It is not needed, although you lot do need to keep the hole. The tubing was just needed in the very early on setups where the t and cap were exterior the tank.

I practice adopt to use the two 90'south likewise. The T takes upward too much infinite, and forces y'all to run the open up channel lower.
