Im using Caribsea South Seas Base Rock - 80lbs. Is this enough rock?Just setup mine.
Amazing plumbing....Are you using Sch 40 colored pipes? Would it be possible to give a breakdown of the fittings used?As @pelphrey noted, the Red Sea bulkheads would not be worth swapping out. Their proprietary fittings actually work really nice in my opinion and are a very small profile. Also as he noted, you can simply buy two more of the Red Sea barbed return fittings to convert all of the drains and return over to hard pipe... as you can see it's what I did on mine....

I'll fly you over in my Gulfstream but wow....Legendary!
Thanks man... if you look through my entire build thread, you will see some examples of panel mounted gear, cable management etc. I will admit, my latest creation may be a little over the top lol.

He's set the gold standard . Better cover up myself with a towel in the locker room if he's around .Bro you're inspiring many of us with your "over the top" installations!
Working on my hard side plumbing.

Thanks if you could me a breakdown that would be great . I have a 425XL with a Vectra M1 . I think your manifold would probably fit but I would need to change to 3/4".The colored piping/fittings are called furniture grade PVC... comes in all of the colors of the rainbow. However, it only comes in pipe, T-fittings, various degrees of elbows and various 3-way, 4-way and 5-way. The grey fittings are schedule 80.
I can give you a breakdown of fittings... but are you wanting to duplicate my exact setup?

Tank finally showed up and I clearly see the fittings can't be hard Lined with bulkheads.
Toys all showed up the same day
So I got a white stand and the inside was black so my OCD made me go buy a roll of white vinyl to wrap all the panels lol
Can see a small panel getting it's covering!
The finished wrap!
Figured since I'm in no hurry I would hide and tuck as much as I can before dropping the tank on!
Got the reactor plumbed in an area I didn't think it was even possible pretty happy it's all covered and how it came out!
This is the far right compartment!
The skimmer and Rock is well cured for two months awaiting the tank. Have to plumb in all the Sprcturapure top off and Auto water change before the tank goes on the stand!
BK and the AquaDriver doing its thing on the rock lit by the Orphek V3's
More pics coming!

I personally would love the exact list as I'm going to "try" and replicate your exact build including the reactors. You know duplication is the best compliment!
Sure. Thanks. Can I use the schedule 40 coloured fittings from BRS. If so then you can eliminate some parts. I already have the Aquamaxx reactors .Only difference is I'm using M1 Vectra. Much appreciated !Ok, I'll work on a parts list once I get a break from Christmas activities. However, the parts list will vary depending on if you do colored fittings or schedule 40/80 fittings... because I can eliminate some adapters if you are doing standard 40 or 80. So I would need to know what your plans are for that.
