Freshwater aquarium sump plumbing and Bean Animal Overflow explained. How to make your sump silent.

Great explanation. Thanks for sharing this. 👍

It's an AUSTRALIAN Engineering Marvel :)
As is the BEARD!!!!

Awesome setup, awesome channel, good humour to boot 😊

Thanks for sharing mate very interesting video👍 ill keep in mind for the future😎

Another very informative video again. Very well done

really nice setup! you are great at the DIY stuff 💪👍

HI MY FRIEND VERY NICE VIDEO
THIS IS FANTASTIC DAY. 🌼🌼

Great information 👍

That is an amazing tank and set up you have. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your fish . Just wondering , Can you make a silent system we can plug into our partners ?
Could look at your tank all day, it's a credit to you ...

That’s mint 🙌

Cracking tank mate..

Hey man! Sorry to bother you again. Last question I swear. 😅 but in your overflow box do you have 25 mm pvc then 40mm on the outside?

What is plugging the hole on the second drain pipe?

I can’t get my overflow box like that quiet for the life of me. Sounds like a bathtub😞

old video but can you make a wet dry filter fully submerged? Like drill a home lower like some aio units do so if the water level runs low the pump wont run dry? Have a sea clear acrylic with wet dry built in back is why is im asking. thanks

This is exactly the type of video I have been looking for. Thank you for explaining it all in such detail.

Where did you get the overflow box from

nice tank, nice setup, nice video, really great actually .... so thx you helped me!

Beautiful

This is very helpful. Thank you

Great advice lovely tank and seems a nice guy too 😊

This is by far one of the best videos in plumbing for aquariums I have ever seen. Well done.

Great video Beautiful tank 👌

Awesome set-up good video

Hola pregunta, la perforación en el codito, la hiciste con un clavo caliente, eso ayudo a que? A que no sacara el aire por la parte de abajo no entiendo mucho gracias

NICE WORK !

Thank you again for this video. I have a 90 gal with corner overflow, only 2 holes( drain and return) can I get the same result? Make it silent

Hi, I'm in the process of setting up a 125 gallon tank with a modular marine overflow box. Do you find that water escapes between where the white pipe of the removeable weir inserts into the bulkheads? I'm trying to calculate how much extra space I need in the sump to handle the drainage from the main tank when the pump is off. If water does leak between there, I would think the minimum water level would be the height of the intake of the main siphon. Although I imagine it would be very slow, so to the bottom of the weir quickly, then to the main siphon intake more slowly? If that makes sense.
Thanks

Hi mate where did you get the overflow box?

First off, beautiful tank. Second, I feel like I finally get how these systems work now. I reeeaaally appreciate your cinematography. It made all the difference.

Perfect video I read through BeanAnimal’s explanation of his design and he described it likening already had a deep understanding of it. Your video explained not only the design but the reasoning. This helps me make proper modifications based on the needs of my tank. Thanks, mate!

brilliantly explained video mate, appreciate it!

Should have went with a Shadow V3 overflow. Way better quality and design that the MM. Yu barely have any flow going thru the overflow. This is why it is quiet. Try that with 2500 GPH wit that MM, it will be noisy. Also if you properly calculated your sump size you wouldn't have to worry about it overflowing.

nice

Wow, this is great! I had no idea what people were talking about a bean animal. Perfect explanation..thank you!!!!

a video from two inches is not helpfull. A view of the whole setup would be helpfull.

Man, that’s super impressive. I’ve had my out take like yours before, just below the surface, and I find evaporation the biggest downfall for this system. You need to have a good handle on keeping a specific amount of water in the tank at all times otherwise the system fails. Some situations that’s not an issue but for me it was.

As a pre retirement gift to myself, I am designing a 13 foot wall it will have two 4'x2'x4' paludariums seperated by a 60"x18"x30" aquarium. Your video is going into the file labeled simply perfection.

Beautiful tank!! Im setting up a 220 gal in the wall and im using your video as my inspiration/blueprint. Im going to put a sump the new 220 gal but have zero experience with sump setup. Ive already ordered the 2400gph modular marine overflow and while Im waiting for that to arrive im trying to get my return plumbing & nozzle location figured out. What size PVC are you using for your return pipes? And for the overflow drain pipes? 1.5"?? Could i put both return nozzles on same side as overflow pointing towards opposite end? Only difference with my setup is that id like to view from both sides, so im trying to put everything on left or right side of tank. And would like to keep ALL plumbing on one end if possible. Any advise you can give will be greatly appreciated!

**Im going to use a Jebao DCP 4000 and a 8000 return pumps
(220gal 72x24x30 w/1 MM 2400gph 20" skimmer)

I just got a 210 gallon tank and want to steer away from canister filters due to the maintenance. What kind of maintenance do these things need And also how much do they cost roughly?

Just wanted to say, I ordered a Modular Marine overflow box because of your video. Thanks a ton for some great instruction.

You are great ❤ the best explanation on YT THANK YOU

What size is your return pump 3/4?

I see I have some work to do.

Masterclass in how to do it properly.
Amazing setup 👍👍👍
