Muttley000 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hayward ones are but you could do it with a cheaper valve https://www.zoro.com/nds-gate-valve-1-in-pvc-140-deg-f-gvg-1000-s/i/G1854501/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Fraggenstien Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Just a badly designed tank. Even if you plumb bean and use it to raise the water level (which you can), your surface level will be above the slots on your overflow, meaning no surface skim. One might not think skimming the surface is that important, but it is. You'll have problems from all the organics collecting there.

Dr.Fraggenstien Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'd be tempted to get some black paint and tape off and paint an inch or so under the trim so you don't have to see the waterline. So instead of higher waterlevel, get a lower trim line. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff70 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 you could also silicone the bottom of each slit in the overflow 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch and I'd also cut the tops of the overflow just to make sure you don't leak over the top if the slots get clogged.
