okay so i made a preliminary list of plumbing items: i know off the bat i need some sort of valve for the main drain and some return nozzles. i picked up a tunze 1073.020 rated for 634 gph off a member. theres a 58 gallon tank and a 35 (max) gallon sump: 58+35=93, 634/93 = 6.8x turnover (?)...

just finished the stand. pretty happy with how it turned out. just need to drill a box on top for the overflow. dont think im going to paint or seal this. on to plumbing next! quick question, how would i go about sealing the drains in the tank if i want to fill it up with vinegar so that i can...

okay. you guys convinced me. im going to build a new stand this weekend and worry about the plumbing next!

thanks for the quick reply! i've looked at the bulkheads on bulkreefsupply and understand what you are saying. i think you are right. when i order these bulkheads, do i need to order more gaskets, or do they come with enough? i am trying to make the main drain a full siphon. good point about the...

hi all, starting a tank journal to hopefully get some feedback from the tank i got from Vincerama. first, some pictures/videos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eitqh55ge0zsc1j/AACPkdL6EXiISMwF2ciXsyDBa?dl=0 first problem is the sump is too big for the stand. i was thinking of cutting a hole into...
