I have been using the box of a wet dry filter as my sump. It has only 2.5 gallons of water in it at its nominal level. I just got a big rectangular tank for a sump, so I was going to use my old wet dry for a refugium. it is 6" wide, 19" long, and 16 inches tall. It will fit along the side of my 42 gal aquarium, and return water to the aquarium by gravity flow. I was going to put a support under the refugium, so no weight is on the refugium-to-aquarium plumbing.
My question is how to plumb the return flow to the aquarium. Should I cut a hole in the side of the wet/dry, and glue in an acrylic return pipe? Use a PVC pipe with a bulkhead? If a bulkhead is best, where in town can you get a 1" bulkhead fitting?
Any suggestions out there? Thanks!
