jbb Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Tank was rescued from the tank graveyard in my closet. Still have a bit of cleaning to do to get it 100% ready, but its coming along. STOCKING So far I'm staying in the goby section. I am going with 2 fish max. 1. Barred Convict Goby 2. Yasha Goby along with 3. Pom Pom Crab Coral : undecided , but have my eye on some really nice acan frags at the LFS doing things a bit different this time. I couldnt find a bulkhead small enough for what I had in mind so I decided to go with this : It is 1/2"x1/2" john guest bulkhead union. I will be using 1/2" john guest tubing along with an inline ball valve to adjust flow as needed. The bulkhead did not come with a gasket so I did what most reefers hate and used silicone to secure it to the galss and ensure a water tight fit. Here are a few quick pics : And here is where I shed blood making the sump : Link to comment

jbb Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Leak test SUCCESSFUL !!!! have a 90* quick connect fitting on order to straighten out the return . Lowes & HD dont carry the 1/2" 90* slip but they carry every other size. Link to comment
