metrokat Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 It's not that hard to do. Measure, cut, mud, tape, paint. You've seen my DIY projects before? The dremel holes in my wood floor and carpet? The purple PVC glue over my marble floors? I should show you the lovely straight line I cut in one of the shelves in this cabinet. Quote Link to comment

Veng Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I do agree, practice makes perfect. Or finding a good handyman... 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Good morning. The Christmas Favia that has lived in the back of the tank for a year now, getting barely any light but still growing, albeit very slowly, has a gawgeous fan worm that lives in it. This resident wasn't there on the original frag so I'm curious to know where it came from. Took a zoomed in cell phone picture that isn't very nice but the colors on this guy are fantastic. The schmutz in the front is some algae that is stuck on it. I do agree, practice makes perfect. Or finding a good handyman... I do have one but this electrical project had to be mine. IF something goes wrong like the LEDs that stopped working, I need to be able to determine how to fix it. Same thing with the plumbing which I'm working on. I need to learn where everything is and how to fix it. 3 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Plumbing again. So the bulkheads are to be slip x slip. And the pipes and fittings to it should not be glued. What about underneath and into the sump - should they be blued to the bulkhead on that side? Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Absolutely 1000000000000000000000000% yes they should be glued under the tank. Unless you're into that wet, soggy house look 2 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Or use thread on the bottom. That way if you for any reason need to change plumbing, you don't need to change bulkheads. Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Or use thread on the bottom. That way if you for any reason need to change plumbing, you don't need to change bulkheads. that's what unions are for . Threaded plumbing is just a leak waiting to happen imo, and yes I know how to use teflon tape. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 that's what unions are for . Threaded plumbing is just a leak waiting to happen imo, and yes I know how to use teflon tape. Then why is it that for a lot of plumbing in real high-pressure applications (like my well for my house) use only threaded fittings? Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Then why is it that for a lot of plumbing in real high-pressure applications (like my well for my house) use only threaded fittings? And didn't that system just come apart on you due to messed up threads in the system ? EDIT also, how often are people really going that far with complete plumbing changes ? A single inline union is all that person would ever need to accomplish that task, there is no need for multiple threaded joints. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Absolutely 1000000000000000000000000% yes they should be glued under the tank. Unless you're into that wet, soggy house look I meant as opposed to thread, sorry. So If I went with slip and I glued the pipe under the bulkhead, removing the bulkhead for any reason (a gasket replacement maybe?) - how would i do that? Or use thread on the bottom. That way if you for any reason need to change plumbing, you don't need to change bulkheads. This is what I was thinking. So the bulkheads that I get should be slip X thread. Right? And then I need a thread x slip adapter to continue the sch 40 pipe sculpture under the tank. Right? that's what unions are for . Threaded plumbing is just a leak waiting to happen imo, and yes I know how to use teflon tape. oh. Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 leaky bulkhead ... cut the pipe and replace . pretty simple. with a union you can change the plumbing as often as you want without changing bulkheads you make it sound like this will happen once per month or more. You really are making this out to be MUCH harder than it needs to be. 2 Quote Link to comment
