plumbing drain line

Hi, I’ve just bought my own display tank as I fancied doing my own setup, stand, sump and plumbing etc myself. Im stuck between which overflow to buy between the 2 types attached. The shorter box would be good because it takes less space, however it means the plumbing is at the back of the...

Good morning, reef dudes. I am currently brainstorming ideas for a mixing station setup in the house I am having built. While I have a solid plan in mind, I am unsure about the idea of running PVC pipes through a finished wall. My main concern is that this would make the plumbing inaccessible...

Hello I’m currently installing an aquarium in my wall and need some help with the plumbing as I am stuck. Hopefully I have some fellow reefers out there that would like to take part on this journey with me because I could sure use some wisdom. I have a 220 gallon custom tank drilled at one...
