🐟 2023 Waterbox Infinia Frag 175.6 | Leak Test (Sump leds, gyre, return pump, plumbing, cycle start)

May consider tuning to have a bit more water in return chamber. If you need to increase the Vectra flow you may get an air siphon

[@PurelyAquatic]

Yes you're correct. I need to find the best level without having too much water in the sump when the power is off. Right now the sump is ~80-90% full when the pump is off.

[@andrewsdrmike]

@@PurelyAquatic my L2 runs at 50% in my 320 and runs my media reactor and uv. Powerful pumps. Also I found running water level in overflow about 1/2 inch below secondary drain really quiets it down.

[@andrewsdrmike]

I forgot that my Reef LX has a flow check valve on the return line. Don’t know why the frags don’t come with one

[@PurelyAquatic]

@@andrewsdrmike Yeah, no check valve in the frag version. :/

Hey mate, love your video series since i'm thinking about getting this tank too! Two questions, is it possible to switch the smaller Refugium chamber with the skimmer chamber? I want my skimmer to be running before my refugium haha Also at 6:50 the water splashing seems to be quite loud. Is that adjustable or will it always be this loud? Since the cabinet is open in the back that can be quite annoying if it's always this loud

I would take off the return pump soft hose and immerse it in boiling water and push it snugly right up to the top of the barb and then clamp or zip tie it.

Nice tank how much did the water box cost you if you don’t mind saying , I’m moving soon and my next tank to swap out my existing 125 is a water box maybe a 200 gallon so I’m just researching cost👍🏼

[@PurelyAquatic]

I paid retail price $3,699 + tax + shipping. You could also wait when they have 10% sale if you want it a little cheaper.

I got the rocks from bulk reef supply, reefer saver dry rocks ~100 lbs and broke it up to form the scape. I also used a few small/med foundation reef saver rocks for the legs. www.bulkreefsupply.com/catalogsearch/result?q=dry%20rock

I have the vectra pump the m2 and i bougjt the barb fittings for it. Its just that hose is puzzling to me. It fits ovet the 1” but its kinda lose? What hose size is that and what barb fitting i need for it?

[@PurelyAquatic]

The waterbox hose size is a bit weird, its close to a 1.25" but its really loose when you connect them.

[@KentuckyReef]

Raise your returns to the top of the water line or drill a small hole in the top of your returns and it won’t back siphon.

[@PurelyAquatic]

I tried raising the return nozzle higher, but it creates a lot of splashing out of the tank. I'll have to play around with it to see what I can do.
