DIY reef flush system
this is how i spent my bank holiday afternoon. gonna upgrade the return pump on the perc 90 from 1000 lph to 2000 so i can feed this.
and reef flush in action used a 1.5mil drill bit on some waste pipe. drilled holes to keep the bottom clean (insert joke here) and some to clean the rock up from underneath. needed quite a lot of holes, just kept drilling and testing to make sure i had just enough to have the pressure on the jets enough to avoid wear on the pump.
drilled some more

kids, if you drive down the road with your windows open, music blaring and you think you look cool.....
Just remember, everybody looking at you is thinking "what a pratt" and laughing at you.

Brilliant:D Is it solvent weld pipe or push fit? I'll be 'borrowing' your idea for my new tank.:rolleyes:;)
Re: DIY reef flush system
just push fit, but it can be solvent welded, tis a nice tight fit tho. it's also snug in the tank so shouldn't (touch wood) blow apart.
Re: DIY reef flush system
i do like this looks good so where is it going to be fit as i was working on the same sort of thing myself but just couldnt work out the best place to put it :):)

Re: DIY reef flush system
same size as the footprint of the tank. this is what i made so the flush will go underneath this.
the plan is to trim around the sides as it's one square too big.
Re: DIY reef flush system
the grid at the back makes the rock easier to stack as it grips to the grid, it also allows flow round the back.
