Sk8n Reefer Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 So what kinda glue? is there a thing like plumber's glue? silicone? I used to watch him all the time as a kid. Saturday mornings! Bob Ross mornings Pinner's drawing is excellent and correct - glue the elbow into the bulkhead- use ABS black pipe glue. I put everything into place and the tank in place - figured out all the plumbing then pulled the stand out and glued through the opening in the back. Make sure everything's ready- the glue sets incredible fast.....boom! Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Depends on what brands you have over there ...I use Christie's. Just get pvc glue and primer in the plumbing section. I'll post pictures of mine when I get home...I think the "extra parts" are throwing you off. LOL! "Extra parts" always throw me off. Holy hell. I'm done for today.

Make sure everything's ready- the glue sets incredible fast.....boom! Nice! I'm actually leaving about 11 inches between the tank and the wall to put some large trees/plants back there so I can put my ATO reservoir behind it. So hopefully I can get back there easy Hmmmm, after the "it tastes better than iT smells" comment.....I assumed glue.....but now I have a smile on my face. What were you talking about? Oh lord.

ReefWeeds Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Looks great....love those dimensions! Thanks Jack! I'm really glad the stands have feet on them. Nothing is level in our house so it made it so much easier to level the tank out. I really love the look of these tanks. And the glass is so clear. But SCA's instructions? They suck hairy balls Link to comment
