return plumbing

I’m transforming my waterbox cube 20 into a dwarf seahorse tank. I’ve noticed, on professional builds, there’s usually a really nice thing that replaces the return jets for something calm and more natural. Is anyone aware of options for return jets and seahorses? Sites? Links?

work well, used for 3 months. cleaned up my plumbing these are $40 each from custom aquarium.

Planning the plumbing for my first system with a sump and I can't decide what to do about the return output. I'd be curious to see how you folks configured your return outputs, particularly those without loc-line. How do you avoid having the flow disturb the sand bed, etc? Any tips or advice...

Finally upgrading to a sump from my canister setup. I'm just ordering everything now and doing all of the planning. I got the Eshopps medium overflow box kit, and that comes with a 1.5" diamond drill bit for the overflow. For the return I am planning on getting a Jebao DC pump and soft plumbing...

I am planning on setting up a Cor-15 with a 1” return line to my tank. Should I be using 1 or 2 return bulkheads and are there any differences that I would notice if I only have 1 return outlet?

I am putting together my first reef aquarium. (Not how I wanted to tell you guys) Planned to make my first post with my build. Sadly I'm having a plumbing issue. I have a Maxspect jump 8k. I am using 1inch return pvc pipe. This return came with barbed fittings and I am unsure of what tubing/...

I am trying to properly plumb my Waterbox 180.5 to my Ecotech Vectra M2. I have been running the tank since June using the Vinyl tubing that comes with the Waterbox and connecting it to the barb kit sold by Ecotech. The problem with this setup is that the barb does not fit snuggly into the vinyl...

I originally posted in DIY, and I'm now trying to figure out plumbing sizing coming from a single return pump. I was going to T off from my return pump (COR-15) to fit 3/4" line to my display and 1/2" to my frag tank. Is there any negligible difference if I T off with a 3/4" connector vs...

Looking to buy 2 sea swirls preference is 1” but could go up or down in size to 3/4” or 1.5”. Will pay for shipping.

Hello, I am in the design phase for plumbing on my tank. It's 8' x 30" x 30" (~360 gallons) and I have a negative space aquascape. I'm going to have 2 returns, I am planning for 1 return (Abyzz a100) to be over-the-top on the left side of the tank - the overflow is on the left side of the tank...

I have my current return pump manifold set up in the second picture attached, but I have noticed I lost a lot of power due to all the corners, I didn't think this though the first time well enough I guess. So I thought about changing it completely to the new design I drew out in the first image...

Everyone has already been so helpful. So I purchased a Red Sea 350 that already has part #42221 (16mm) connected to the soft tubing. I want to keep everything as is. The issue I have been having is connecting my VarioS 6 return pump to the soft tubing. I ordered another part #42221 but it is...

Hello there, a friend of mine gave me his 90 reef tank, but forgot about taking photos of the plumbing. So I have parts but don't know how to fit them in place. Here's the parts... And here's a photo of the sump without the phosban reactor usually hanging right of the sump... Is the Durso or...

I am looking to put some loc line return into use in my tank i am not familiar with this type of return i seen on bulk reef supply they have a loc line tool DO YOU NEED That tool or is that just a waste of money and i can put together with little muscle ?

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...

The time has come to re-plumb my return pump to make better use of space in my sump... Did I read somewhere once that there was a recommended length of straight pipe on the pump outlet before adding any bends to aid efficiency? I know on the intake there should be at least five times the...

I have a Waterbox 170.4/5 on the way, and it has a 1" ID return hose. I purchased the Ecotech Vectra M2 as a return pump for it, and I was wondering, how did you guys plumb your Vectras? I want to make sure I did it right. Lol! Pictures would be extremely helpful!

Before I venture out to home depot and start buying things, I wanted to ask here and see if there is a simpler solution to connect from PVC to my return pump. I recently acquired a 75G reef tank pre drilled and plumbed for reef, in an effort to plunge into reef-keeping. All of my experience is...
