Using Flex PVC will require a different type of glue. I tried 5 different types and this was the best by far. The other PVC glues just won't hold no matter how expensive and how much extra I applied. It was very frustrating. I thought I'd save you the headache so here's the link.

Hello SoLiD...
Thank you so very much for the input on the PVC glue.
I was not aware of this and thought regular PVC glue wouldv been sufficient.
I will try to get hold of this glue.
Thanks again for sharing :)
 
Hi Kevin,
Thanks bro. Yup I'm getting in the supplies. And my mind's just full of plans and thoughts....plumbing, electrical etc... Goodness :D
I'm getting in Perenator aquarium specific silicone, once i get it in hand il start the tank build. Also need to get the Gorilla plumbing glue as adviced for Flex PVC. Don't wanna take chances, so I'm going in for materials which have been tried and tested in our hobby. With the exception of the Zeo Reactor which will be a first of it's kind...so do stay tuned ;)
 
Great progress being made here, certainly warrants a bigger tank! Your attention to detail and planning is top notch:thumbsup:
Can't wait to see the new tank come together!

Thanks a lot for the kind and encouraging words bro!!
I really wish I could breeze through and get this tank up and running ASAP. But since I'm planning stuff on my own I wanna be sure stuff turn out the way I plan, and not repeat old mistakes, and hopefully no new mistakes LOL :hammer:
The measuring tape feels like an extension of me now :twitch:
Another factor finances :D
Wish me patience ya all :p

Will post a tiny update on my current tank today.
