Thanks for all feedback.
Been stucked with work and just finished up relaying inlet/return piping in the tank.
Piping not yet glued. Rain bar not yet drilled. Hope can finish up next day.


Thought of making 3 inlet pipe to filter drum (Left / Centre / Right)- Photos #1
But settle with 2 inlet pipes with strainers instead.
(may return to my 1st idea)

Return pipe consist of vertical and horizontal rainbar (Rainbar holes not yet drill).
Extra outlet may be used for undergravel jet function. This will decide after some actual testing with water is done.

After fine tuning some alignments and repositioning piping, did a test with conditioned water.

My 2026 not performed up to my standard, water flow out from the rain bar not strong. (Maybe due to 2 rainbar used)

For now add in TOM 800 to do the water circulation in the tank.
