my C2C

[stinkyreef]

So I am about to glue in my C2C glass and need to know the best way to do it. Should I put it together outside the tank, let it cure then into the tank or assemble it in the tank all at once.
Thanks for the help!

assuming everything is glass - best to do it all at once, because silicone wont bond to cured silicone.

That's what I was leaning towards.

Things are moving a little slow but was able to get the C2C glued in last night! Still have some things to do on the stand and getting my sump stand built today. Thats going to sit in the next room and not under the tank

Agree with gluing it all at once, but silicone will bond to cured silicone; it just won't bond to dirty cured silicone. For something like this it shouldn't be an issue.

Looks good Stinky - love the cups! :beer:

I did mine separate. That was assembled on my counter top. The next day I put it in and let it dry for a day.

Nice. What are the dimensions of the C2C? I am having a hard time finding out what a good size should be.

I used a 6" piece and a 4". The 4 is behind the 6

Thanks . Are you planning on doing an external box as well or a traditional BA setup where the elbows are inside the inner C2C?

More than likely a durso since the tank is small. But im going to try the suction version of the Bean over flow.
