Pretty nifty looking. I see unions, but no valves. Will it drain out if you need to remove the pump for cleaning or replacing?

Thanks, I will have the ability to drain the main cylinder for maintenance,, did not see a reason for unecessary valves

Ok, cool. I've overlooked having a valve in a certain spot on things I've built/done and it can sometimes be a pain to add one after everything is up and running. So have you figured up how much media that monster will hold?

sweet setup, Mike! I can't wait to get mine set up... I still haven't figured out if I'm going to go with a Korallin or a "gato" reactor
