Return from Sump
Ok, I'm hoping you all can point me in the right direction.
I have pvc coming from my sump to the DT, how do I get it in the tank. I know there has to be some sort of U nozzel that I can buy? right? My tank isn't drilled, so I need something to come from PVC over the tank then in. Does that make sense? Help a noob out. |

Just glue 2- 90 degree elbows together to form a U shape. No need to buy a pre-made nozzle.

So white PVC with a black background? That wouldn't look strange?

I like the flexibility and versatility of standard PVC but I know some people really like those U-tubes so to each their own.

You could buy some Loc-Line pieces to make a custom return. Just bring the PVC up and then add the Loc-Line adapter and lines.
