HOW TO HARD PLUMB A REEF TANK | MANIFOLD | FLOATING REACTORS | WATERBOX AQUARIUMS

Whats up guys, just finishing up the plumbing for the waterbox 7225. In this video I go over how I plumb the drains to the sump and the return from the manifold to the lilly pipe.

In the previous video I go over how I hard plumb my reef tank, the waterbox 7225 pro clear. Hard plumbing the reef tank in my opinion just clean up every thing in the sump area. For the plumbing I went with the affordable route. I used basic white PVC from home depot. This is way cheaper than going with custom colored PVC from bulk reef supply. With my build I have two reactors from Aqua Maxx. One reactor is for bio pellets and the other reactor is for carbon. I want to hard plumb these items together. For my build I want only one pump to power everything. This mean one pump powering the bio pellet reactor, carbon reactor and UV. This will remove a lot of clutter and extra pumps in the sump. To do this we need to build out an easy manifold with PVC pipe and fittings. I show you how I structured my filtration and build out a manifold for the reef tank. With the manifold, it gives us the opportunity to have the reactors and UV float above the sump. The floating look in my opinion cleans up everything and will give me easy access to the reactors to change media when needed. Instead of having the items lay in the sump or stand, they are floating up above and out of the way. Let me know what you guys think!
