jbb Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 See? Look at that. I'm starting to catch on ... slowly, but starting And I don't need the one on the smaller return line, right? I can't see where that one would actually go. Just the durso... Strainer on drain only Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Strainer on drain only one part figured out! Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Scratch that! Big bulkhead doesn't fit in the durso part. ####. Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Scratch that! Big bulkhead doesn't fit in the durso part. ####. which part of the durso? This is a how a drain goes. It's to go on the durso pull the strainer out of the bulkhead, they are not glued and put it in the durso You don't use the bulkhead. Just the strainer. Link to comment

Sancho Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Call SCA and make sure that bulhead is ABS. Mine are black and look like ABS but they are PVC. If you bulkhead is ABS and your elbow is PVC you want to use ABS PVC transition cement. Sorry If I just confused you more. Link to comment

It's to go on the durso pull the strainer out of the bulkhead, they are not glued and put it in the durso You don't use the bulkhead. Just the strainer. It won't fit by itself in the durso - the part the water drains into. It's a hair too big. I can file down the plastic, but figured I'd worry about that later. it was hard to get out of the actual bulkhead piece as well so I'm thinking i'm just gonna order another one. Call SCA and make sure that bulhead is ABS. Mine are black and look like ABS but they are PVC. If you bulkhead is ABS and your elbow is PVC you want to use ABS PVC transition cement. Sorry If I just confused you more. OMFG! ok, I'll call. omgomgomg STELLA !!! LOOK !!! http://www.twitch.tv/bobross OMG! I need to watch this right now. Who needs to work??? Link to comment
Mirya Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 In Stella's defense, when I was researching SCA tanks, all the reviews said that the tank themselves were great but the plumbing was a real PITA... Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Is the black on the back glass removable? It's vinyl so I'm sure it is, but I don't want to test it Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Plumbing looks prefect except the missing parts underneath that's to come later! Let's hope that looks perfect too! Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 leak test the overflow, pour water in, it should not drip from the bulkheads below. Link to comment
Sancho Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 You are almost done! Once you know what the plumbing is made out of. Buy the appropriate cement, glue, primmer. Glue the 2 barb thingies to the bulkheads. Attach the 2 hoses and clamps you are done. Big hose goes to the crapper trapper, small hose to your return pump. Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 All this talk makes me happier I have an AIO! I was in your shoes too Harry. Then I got a HOB overflow and a sump. And now I graduated. I draw the line at drilling it myself however. You are almost done! Once you know what the plumbing is made out of. Buy the appropriate cement, glue, primmer. Glue the 2 barb thingies to the bulkheads. Attach the 2 hoses and clamps you are done. Big hose goes to the crapper trapper, small hose to your return pump. The return pump hose can be attached right away IMO, she doesn't need barbs. Link to comment

righttirefire Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 My head hurts from reading this! It really not that complicated... don't make me fly out and piping this system together and take my ATO! Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Just ####ing glue the damned thing! Woman the #### up and do it! ABS/PVC glue, it doesn't matter unless your a contractor who needs to meet code. 90 deg barbed is for the drain, straight piece is for the return. Now GO! P.S. use a dropcloth... your stand is really clean Link to comment
