ihatesears18 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ok picture time: Biocube has been banished to the floor Overflow Tank on the stand, begging for water Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Sump arrived today. The plumbing is a bit too small so I'll need to figure something out. Also the filter sock has to go. It is really nice though. I'll post some pics tomorrow Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Ordered the Pico shallow mp10 shield. I'm also thinking of upgrading to the Ecosmart driver. Should I? Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Ok plumbing has me stumped. How in the world do I go from a 1" PVC 90 degree elbow to 1" vinyl tubing? I wanted to stick with flex plumbing so that I can take the sump out and clean it (it's going to be out in the open). If I can't find a good solution I'll just stick with PVC. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 A street elbow might do it. It has a step down on it. Link to comment
Chadf Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You need something like this. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You could also get a quick disconnect if you want to stick with pvc and hard plumb it. Link to comment
Cruzersoul Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Any update on the tank? Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Any update on the tank? No updates as of now. I'm taking my wife to Jamaica in December so as soon as I get back this thing will get plumbed and wet! Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Update now? I plan on doing the plumbing soon. Trying to get through the holiday season before I finalize things. Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ok this thing is back on track. My order from Glass Holes was missing a couple of parts so they have been ordered and this thing will be plumbed this week. It's going to be fishless though since I now have 3 kittens. They are psychotic. Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Tank is half plumbed. I did the overflow with 1" PVC and had to order a 5/8" to 1/2" reducing coupler for the return. $0.29 part & $7 shipping Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ok the tank is finally plumbed! I'll be filling it up to leak test. There is one small problem: my Neotherm heater is too big for the tiny sump. I'll need to address this sometime soon. Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I've got a small leak coming from where the drain elbow meets the bulkhead. I need to break it down and apply more plumbers tape. it's kind of a pain but I should have this thing cycling this week. Link to comment
