jbb Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 My street elbow does not look like that - maybe because it's a schedule 80 from BRS? sorry I meant sweep elbow Quote Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Why take a regular T fitting, cut it back some, use a street elbow and try to turn it the other way? Quote Link to comment

jedimaster1138 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 This is a strange elbow but looks compact, anybody seen or used these? Do not have the tools to cut schedule 40 or any schedule of any kind like this. 1. Get a hacksaw. 2. Use the hacksaw. 3. Buy fish. 9 Quote Link to comment

DriftingNemo Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Since your new tank is about 1/3 larger than your old tank, what other fish do you think of adding? 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Did you get everything squared away as far as plumbing goes? I placed some orders online and will make a trip to HD also. Tank can't get plumbed till next week unfortunately. But I can work on other things. Quote Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Everytime I come on NR I realize how damn average my tank is lol. I really need to step up and get like a LIG reef savvy or something. Quote Link to comment

Chris! Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 ones that like to jump in overflows of course Perfectly fine.... theres no room in the overflow box for them to get into, they will get to the teeth and just be like awww daymn and turn around Everytime I come on NR I realize how damn average my tank is lol. I really need to step up and get like a LIG reef savvy or something. Starphire is the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! I wanted a RS but they took forever to get back to me so they missed out on like 3g's (I'm very impatient when it comes to poor/slow customer service, I think it was like 4 weeks just on the quote process altogether...).... ordered from Miracles in Canada instead and am very pleased 1 Quote Link to comment

jbb Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Why do you need to slide out the sump, and how often does this happen ? I say leave it Quote Link to comment

Chris! Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Around here Lowes is definitely better than HD but Ace beats them both. Here it is Menards, HD, then Lowes.... Ace is small and doesn't carry but the absolute basics.... 90s and couplings only and I think only 1 and 1,5". I have one 1 mile from my house went to go get teflon tape and they didn't even stock that LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
