180 gallon plumbing - starting from scratch

oscar.millan · 12/13/2009, 03:58 PM

Hello everyone! Great news, I have finally purchased my 180 and I thought I should ask the experts for advice before I start on the plumbing.

All of my previous tanks were plumbed when I purchased them, this is the first one I have bought where I'm starting from scratch. Endless possibilities.

Needless to say, I need some help and would very much appreciate your advice.

Pictures coming soon. Thanks everyone!

Here is a picture of the tank and the stand next to my kitchen.

Here is a picture of the front, close up.

Here is a close up picture of the holes (notice one on each side - I do have the bulkheads)

I don't find bulkheads particularly exciting, but here are pics anyway.

One is threaded and the other is slip on:
