LF Plumbing

[Lukeb321]

Posted in the another section but heres the rundown:

Bought a used 60 gallon cube.
I attempted to use the previous plumbing - that was probably my first mistake and should have just started fresh.

Everything seemed ok and then the return started to drip. I must have reset the return 10x before walking away and wasting any more of my time this weekend.
All right "“ the pvc is ¾.


What do I need?
¾ pvc from depot or lowes?
Lifegard Aquatics 3/4-Inch Slip Bulkhead ??? "“ This looks like what I have on there now "“ do I use the ¾ to match the pvc?
¾ elbow?
¾ return nozzle?


Does this sound right?
Do I buy ¾ everything to match the pvc size?
Then I'm gluing everything together and praying this works?

Ready to pull my hair out "“ thanks.


Anybody locally have what I need? - thanks

Pm me your number and i can give you a call....plumbing is pretty easy after doing it a few times ...just take it slow and do it right the first time

Agreed with mrx, take your time. Nothing worse than gluing up a union and realizing you forgot to put on the threaded collar. The fittings are cheap cheap cheap, buy twice what you think you will need for OOPS moments or spares. I have a bunch of 1" ballvalves, don't know if that'll help you.

There is a plumbing store right next to exotic aquatic on Oakland park blvd, they have most everything you need.

Does that plumbing store have the piping and bulkheads or should I order the bulkheads online?

Going to attempt this again this weekend. Say a prayer.

No bulkheads... but most everything else.

Check All Pets for bulkheads. Also Blue Seas in Plantation.

Beverlies has come in handy for bulkheads and check valves off university and pines.
