My sump arrived. The build quality and customer support from Synergy Reef could not be better. They updated me throughout the build process. The packaging was great and shipping went well.
I have plenty of updates. Stay tunedNice, keep the updates coming. Love a nice build thread
I think you might run into a problem. If I'm seeing this correctly you have the gate valve on the middle pipe.... correct? In order to make this overflo super silent you need to place an elbow or a street L on the main drain and you will not be able to fit one as you need to have the secondary drain a bit higher and there wont be space. The same problem will happen with the emergency drain. That needs to be even higher than the secondary drain and the elbow will not fit. You will have the level in the overflow go up and down and will not be able to stabilize. Again I have not dealt with a figi overflows so they might have enough space to fit. In which case it will work silently. Ive also seen some overflows that didn't need elbows at all and are silent. Also a reef octopus skimmer will look super sexy in there.
Yes. There should be an elbow in the middle of those 2 inside the overflow box to quiet down the drain and keep the level consistent. An elbow would not fit in the middle as you have the emergency and secondary drain tubes to the left and right. Again not familiar with this overflow box so it might not need it as you tested it and found out. If I recall synegy does come with those special elbows that are like a sharp L like. So if in the future if noise becomes a problem you can easily put an elbow in.This is what pipes in exterior box look like.
I yanked my socks out and installed a Reefmat. Socks were a pain.A member on here 3D printed me an intake strainer for my octo 6. I am one of those people that is a bit ocd, and I wanted a red one. It came out great. I am also one of those weirdos who keeps the sump super clean. I don’t let anything grow down there and clean it once a week. It is not too difficult to do. I am actually a little upset that the filter sock compartment is clear acrylic, after the socks are in for a few days they get brown and it bothers me!!! I wish that compartment had a white front panel!
They're using a Fiji cube overflow.Yes. There should be an elbow in the middle of those 2 inside the overflow box to quiet down the drain and keep the level consistent.
