New Plumbing
I am not new to reef tanks but I am new to sumps and plumbing. I have a 90 gallon tank that I bought used.
 It has two, 1.75 inch drains in a corner overflow. Here is a shot of both holes looking up from the stand.  Here is a shot of the sump I will be using. It is 36X12X12.  I am using a Quiet One 4000 pump for my return. It does 1017 gph and has 1 inch MPT in/out. The previous owner used a Durso standpipe and I plan on duplicating this. I will be honest; I have no idea about plumbing: bulkheads, unions and ball valves make my head kind of swim. So...what kind of bulkheads should I be using? Any thoughts on this setup? Hell...I am looking for specific ideas  Thanks guys/gals. Last edited by badpvtdan; 02/04/2007 at 10:46 AM. |

Those holes are for 1" bulkheads. This page lists a lot of parts:
