just ONE! no, not a close loop. It will be running by Super Squirt.

Zaphod · #11 05/09/2006, 10:30 AM

That was the worst for me. Just make sure you use those true unions I did mine twice because I diddn't the first time. It is almost worth it to pay somone to do it.

Hey Trung, What size tank did you end up getting?

you probably already know this but if I were you, I would do all the piping first completely to make sure everything looks right. Then take them apart and glue them. Even if you decide to glue your fingers to those pipes, at least you know you've glue your fingers to the right pipe.

Did he say plump?

Yinger · #18 05/09/2006, 05:01 PM

hey F-18, where did you order your tank from? I'm looking fo ra 48x24x24 with starphire and eurobracing.

gcarroll · #19 05/09/2006, 05:50 PM

In the end you will be thankful that you put so much time an effort into the plumbing. I skipped all the ball valves and unions and I now regret the fact that I will have to cut the pipe to do any modifications to the plumbing.

I ordered it from Pacific Reef in Fountain Valley. It's Leemar. I will post the design later. I got quoted from diff LFS, but the best deal was from PR.
