[bluenassarius]

hey guys,

i'm really embarrassed to ask this question. trying my hardest not to sound like a noob. what pieces are used to connect the two..? i'm trying to build a surge bucket right now. i have the 1" buckhead ... threaded part is pointed down under the bucket and a rio pump in the sump.

Are you trying to make a Carlson surge device? If so here is a web page describing the device.

yeap carlson surge... i did all the bulkheads for intake, overflow and the drain itself... i had a issue w/ trying to find the right pieces to connect the return pump and one of the bulkheads.. i went and put a few pieces of pvc together that i got from home depot i'm just gonna use some pvc glue to get them to stick
