Here is an 18 IBC CHIFT PIST System I have designed that I would love to build one day.
Can anyone see any problems I might run into with this layout?
Comments and suggestions are encouraged!

Here is how the 6 F&D GB side works.

What size diameter SLO pipe do you think I will need to distribute the flow over a 7 meter distance? Would it need to be on a decline to assist gravity flow or is having it straight ok?

slight slope is fine - just make sure your outlet on the fishtank is low enough

Do a search on the forum and you will find the contact details. I bought mine direct from the uniseal company in Brisbane
