I'm finally getting around to putting the bell siphon into my chop and flip build, and will be looking at the solid's outlet next. This video couldn't have come at a better time for me XD
I have had some luck (in other applications) using a heat gun to soften mismatched overly tight PVC fittings to the point where they will 'stretch' enough to fit. As with anything requires finagling though.
Nothing wrong with a good finagling if it does the job. 👍 I've used the heat gun to recover quite a few glued fittings over the years as well. Cheers Jason.

For the fingerlings, I used a sleeve pipe over the SLO just like the bell siphon sleeve. I drilled small but many holes on it for the flow and capped the ends. It clogs once a month but cleaning is super easy and no fingerlings in my settler.
@Rob Bob's Aquaponics & Backyard Farm my fingerlins were able to pass thru and go to my SLO.. haha! Put up a screen to make the hole lower and smaller.
Doesn't this mean that using the 50mm pipe for the SLO is a waste? Wouldn't that 40mm section at the bottom become the bottleneck so that there's no benefit for using the 50mm pipe and you could just as well use 40mm all the way?
There would be a 1½-3mm reduction in diameter so I don't think it's an issue. 40mm DWV fittings to go through the tank may be a bit harder to source as well depending on where you live.

Glad it's helped you out some Rory.
Hope the build went smoothly.
Always a pleasure watching your videos Rob. Very educational.
Am glad you enjoyed it Francis. 😁

Like the SLO setups in the base draining aquaculture tanks Gürkan?
@@RobsAquaponics Yes. Once the fingerlings big enough, I remove the sleeve.
@ Cheers mate. 👍
What I did is to use a 2 inch to 1 inch reducer and put inverted V-Shape cuts on 4 sides. Hopefully it will work.
Let us know if it did mate. 👍
Cheers.

yep, when i go to the plumbing isle , i fit every fitting together to make shure they fit.
😂 I love the looks the other customers give. The staff are used to it though. 😉
@@RobsAquaponics He He, same here.
3000 gallon pond would like to run this at a 2000 gph flow rate 3'' pipe or 2''?

Silly question mate but I got access to a rectangular pool can I run two slo pipes interconnected to each other
You can have them joined but it would pay to run them into a slightly larger diameter communal drain if the flow rate is high through both.
