Juiceman Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Keeping the overflows very simple, using 1.5" pool tubing. I wish I knew as much about plumbing then as I know now.... Would have avoided a lot of headaches! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Bottom, top and apex panel installed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That looks great! I see you went with leveling feet. Are you worried at all about one of them being the single point of failure? I debated using them on my stand, but ultimately decided against it. Sure makes leveling easier!

From what I understand they're rated for waay more than what this will all weigh once up and running. And I'm keeping them as low as possible other than leveling of course. I know for a fact that my old stand was un level which caused the right overflow to be louder since it was taking more water. This will ensure that just in case the floor is the problem I can fix it!

Is it not impressive to have 3 year old thriving SPS system without ever touching the bottom of the tank once? [emoji12] I'm about 3-4" too short on the wingspan for that task.

I didn't say it wasn't impressive . It is very impressive. Your chopstick skills are strong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why two different types of hose? I understand the stronger hose for the line with pressure but why not that hose across the board?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk I'm using the blue (couldn't find black) 1.5" pool tubing for my overflows simply because they're easy to cut, route and bend to wherever I need them to go. And the overflows won't be under any real "pressure".I'm using rigid 1.5" pipe for my return manifold to keep the least amount of friction possible to maximize flow. And using 1" flex for the return lines because that's the smallest spa flex you can get without special ordering and the bulkheads for the returns are 3/4" which matches the loc line that they end on. These pipes will be under pressure since there will be water pumped through them, which is also a reason for thicker more rigid tubing.
