Saltwater newbie Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Thinking about doing the plumbing way different than I ever have more like house plumbing what do you guy's think. I'm thinking of running all 4 inch and a half drains into a single 4 inch with a clean out on the end of the 4 inch in the event there ever was a problem.

In reefing I have found to KISS Im other words keep it stupid simple! The more we throw into things the more “tinkering” or messing with it later always comes into play. I had that exact dimension tank previously and (4) 1.5” drains are completely overkill. Depending on the pump your running and what your overall goal is for turn over, 3 is plenty. The likelihood you would ever need a clean out is next to never. I think there are several tried/tried methods for plumbing our reef tanks that would suit your build perfectly. If ur into just trying something “different” then go for it!!! Half of the fun in reefing is the design and creativity that goes along with it. Just plan ahead, lots of unions and leave yourself an out of way to fix if it does not work like you plan! Whatever route you go. Have fun!
