It saved me many times on my last tank. Wasn't going to blow the chance on this baby.
Come on... crawl under the barb wire and get in there.
Even take a cameraphone and record under the edge or somewhere you can not see with your eye.
OOPS... There was another page. Sorry... LOL
Well better late than never.

Happy Birthday Little Leroy.

Are you worried about using hose clamps like that? I had a used them on the return on my 125. They said SS but apparently not all of it was SS. long story short it rusted and failed. I had a sprinkler for a bit. lol

Yep you missed that. But I reglued the other fittings and let them sit overnight and I hooked up everything this morning and so far for the past 3 hours not a drop.

I believe they will be fine considering they are not exposed to salt creep or water unless I experience what I did in the past 24 hours. I'll prolly end up redoing that intake. I was being lazy and in a rush when I connected everything together.

Im looking forward to how you do it. I want to run my return pump right from the side of my sump, obviously I would need some kind of vibration mount as well as a flexible joint where it connects to the side of the glass tank.

Usually internal pumps have suction cups on the bottom to prevent vibration. You could use the barb fitting provided by the pump and use rubber hoses to your returns or PVC flex tubing.

Do you guys bolt down your external pumps? I'v got a reeflo hammerhead/barracuda that will be my return.

I have in the past, specifically with larger pumps such as BlueLine 100 and PanWorld 150.

I don't. My pumps are under some type of anti vibration material. I think it depends on where the pump is located.
