• help with the size of the drainage shaft

  • Stephanie9175

Aquarium 100x50x50, in the back wall in the corner there are 2 holes drilled, 26mm and 50mm. Please help with the size of the drain shaft, for example, 15x15 or 10x10, as I don't have the fittings yet and will be making a Durso system. I need to tell the glass cutter the dimensions for the shaft, and my second question is what height should the shaft be? I would appreciate any help.

I heard that from the top to the beginning of the shaft is 5 cm, but I have 6 cm, and from the rib of rigidity it's 3 cm, that's what the pro said when he was re-gluing the shaft.

We have determined the height, but what type of drain do you have, simple or Durso? If it's not too much trouble, could you please let me know the dimensions of your shaft?

I had a three coal mine, but now it's a five coal mine. Three 32mm pipes for drainage, supply, and Durso.

I understand that it's emergency drainage + supply + Durso, right?

Angela

Is it not a big load on the glass to place a 32mm pipe? Will the bottom not break?

Laura3615

The plastic pipe is 32mm in diameter.

For such a pipe, the hole is 43mm, and there are as many as 3 of them, so I'm asking about the load on the glass.

I would make it 20x20 or 25x25. It will be easier to catch the fish later.

Nancy

But seriously, by what criteria should I determine the sizes? I won't build a mine for gobies.

Aaron

I was being completely serious with you.

Tina

The criterion is simple - the Durso must fit and be easy to install. There should also be a way to retrieve any fish that accidentally dives in (grates don't always help)...

Thank you all for your help, I ordered 20x20. I wanted to know where to buy the fittings, as I understand some people bought them while others made them themselves.

Come visit and you'll see the drain, the shaft, and all the guts in the tomb. I went to Stas back in the day, and a lot became clear! Also, regarding the materials, I have access to wholesale prices on suzirri (I trade in pet supplies myself).

Jose

Great, I'll call you on Monday.
