Step 8 – Plumbing

After tons and tons of research, I settled on the BeanAnimal setup. Thank you Bean! It seemed like the safest and quietest way to go and there is a discussion thousands of posts long that answers just about every question that could possibly be asked related to setting it up. He also has a whole website summarizing the design. Initially I wanted to just use PVC and came up with the below as a first attempt.

You can see a Quiet One 4000 return pump in there which after a lot of research seemed like it was decently priced, quiet, efficient and provided roughly 500 GPH at 6-7 feet head height.

I posted the above pictures on Reef Central and of course received a few suggestions. Thanks Lionfish666, NanoReefWanabe and Floyd R Turbo!
