Plumbing through outside wall

HowieB · 04/27/2006, 12:03 PM

Hi all. Does anyone have a system where the plumbing goes through an outside wall? My 90-120 gallon reef (to be set up this summer) will be placed in my family room against an outside wall. I would like to place the sequence dart pump for the closed loop, and the chiller outside. The thought of drilling 2 to 4 holes, up to 2 inches in diameter in my wall is kind of scary. Has anybody done this? Do you have any pictures, and if so, what other equipment did you put outside? I still plan on having the sump & refugium under the tank in the stand. Thanks

Can you pop a few holes in your floor to your basement instead of going outside?

Basement? Wish I had one. Not to many houses in Southern California have a basement.
