Hello everyone!
I'm sorta new to the hobby, or specifically, I'm new to the part of the hobby in having a sump. I've had tanks with hang on the back equipment for years, but decided to upgrade to a 150 gallon tank with a sump. I've set up and plumbed my tank, and finally got it all aquascaped...
I am plumbing my tank with pipes and unions bought from bulk reef supply and when I put a union onto the pipe it looks like the pipe doesn’t push in all the way. There is some space on the inside, Is this normal? If I use a lot of force then maybe I can get it pushed farther in but my question...
Hey guys,
I've got a 60 gallon cube and sump that I'll be setting up here shortly.
I'd love to see what everyone's done for their cube's.
Please post a pic of your set-up.
Thanks in advance!
It's been 20 years since I kept fish and now seems as good a time as any to start up again and it's amazing how much the hobby and technology has changed in that time. Since January 1st 2021, I've been slowly building my reef tank piece by piece. It's only been 6 weeks, and I don't event have...
Looking to buy a saltwater tank.
Not finding much information on them. I love the dimensions of the 48 Gallon Shallow Ext. (30" x 24" x 15.75") I had a small biocube 14 AIO a few years back but, this would be my first Sump. The fiji cube's don't come with completed plumbing. What is the...

This is a 90 gallon corner flo I’ve never done plumbing and I’ve never had a salt tank, I’m tanking this slowwwwly to save money and headache:
I have plastic hose clamps coming to replace the metal ASAP, most of this isn’t glued-just pieces that won’t need to be changed.
Before I continue, do...
Good evening everyone!
I am building a budget sump setup for a 75 gallon tank. I found this ADHI sump at my LFS for $50, but it didn't come with bulkheads. Does anyone know where to get them and what sizes they may be? Also looking to plug the hole on the bottom with something as I will be...
Does anybody have any idea where I can get 25mm to 3/4 unions other than from coralvue? I'm trying to convert my waterbox plumbing and these things have been out of stock for 2 months. If there's an alternative that anybody knows of please let me know!
I am thinking of purchasing an L shaped tank! This thing is awesome and happens to replace my current 5’ tank perfectly with the bonus of the “L” Shape adding another dimension when you are in my fish room. It would end up being a 210 gallon mixed reef. For the price I think I am going to snag...
Hello so I purchased a core 20 pump to replace my Vectra S2 as a return pump.
I’m going to remove the manifold thats inline my current return that feeds my reactors and have the cor pump as only a return. And my vectra I will plumb so it only feeds the reactors.
I plan to just have it...
So I’m going back and forth on plumbing a 75 gallon tank for return lines, my 1inch drains x3 overflow will be PVC, so it ok to soft plumbing for the return. What’s the durability? any leaks to be worried about? I want to plumb 2 -3/4 returns on each side
Plumbing a 75gallon display tank and I have a 1500gph pump and 1 inch drains. My question would be, is it best to do 1inch or 3/4 drain with 3/4 bulkhead lock line. Trying to have the best flow less pressure loss
I mean, we hardly ever need the pressure rating, but I'm feeling the peer pressure to be one of the cool kids with grey fittings to go on my colored furniture grade pipe.
Someone please tell me it's ok to use white schedule 40 fittings everywhere. They are cheaper and much more available in...
Hello everyone,
I am new to the community so excuse my ignorance. I found my love for reef tanks in my teens, but my minimum wage job at 16 couldn’t dream of keeping up with the hobby, so I gave up on it. Now that I make adult money, and still don’t have children to feed, I can try again.
I...
Hey everyone
So I finished the return line for the 80G RR tank, what do you guys think? Now, I’m trying to plan out the return line. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Would like to hear your thoughts on the effects of internal pump vibration on corals.
Recently plumbed an external DIY filter using a power head and it caused corals to Immediately close. (Already went through the steps to find the issue) after much experimentation with flow rates, different...

So recently i set up my new 120gal tank, plumbed it all myself. Drain hole drilled called for a 1 1/2" but hole was cut wrong had to use 1 1/4" for my drain piping which the bulkhead was almost impossible to find by the way. The return was correct and is 3/4". My issue is that even though i have...

I was planning to plumb drains and returns with spa flex, but then I saw this at https://flexpvc.com/Guides/FlexHose.shtml under "Description":
