Hey guys what happens if the copper remover gets in the DT? I tried a reactor but it slipped thru the foam ... I am out now looking for a media sock. Ugh!!
Hey Red, okay i got home and measured the holes... they are all the same size both holes at the bottom of the overflow box as well as the two on each end of my sump. The sump will be easy I'll order two of the 1 inch BHs and cap it with a 1 inch female threaded caps... The question i have is the...
Hey Red... I looked at the site and I'll probably use them and wait for the shipping... went to the HD by my work at lunch and they only had 1 bulkhead and a crap selection of pvc parts... ugh!!!

Ok... so the work begins... I need to purchase 2 Bulkheads... I'm guessing they are all 1 3/4 holes for fish tanks? Also should I use 1 inch pvc for plumbing return and drain? (The guy told me to buy (2) 1 inch slip on both side bulkheads, now I believe he means that both ends...

90 Gallon with Overflow, (most of the plumbing, missing bulkheads), stand, hood, Sump (40 Gallon) with 3 sections plumbed for external pump, external eheim 1262 pump, 300watt heater for $250 ... it's covered in Coraline... needs a lot of elbow grease...
Anyone know of a good thread that describes moving from a smaller tank to a bigger one they will be in the same room... just curious to Do's & Don'ts...
