Got my D4000,
all plumbed up and everything is working like a charm!! tested everything i could, siphon blockage, RTP power off, all power off plus startup and I cant get it to stuff up so im pretty stoked to say the least! I have a good quality ball valve on the siphon now so tuning is a breeze, the only problem is when power is of the skimmer fills up with water for a few seconds, cause of the higher water level but i can live with that!
For everyone still wondering how my bloody imfamous drain setup works haha
That tiny purple dot is where the water level sits constantly.
Decent surface skimming :)
just a quicky, water agitation from just return pump.
New pump JUSTT squeezes in
attempted to tidy my elec a bit
final sump setup with macro from RACHIE85 on MASA
bit clearer than yesterday. The things i would do differently in heinsight is definitely just plug the holes in the bottom ad made an external weir, would have been so much better but this will still be alright.
ended up with about 400L total volume.
