Hey Guys - going to be drilling my 120 and need to plumb it. Last time I did my 75 gal was about 7 years ago and I have no idea where I got the parts from. Found these on the Grainger site - they'll work yes?
Union - http://www.grainger.com/product/GF-PIPING-SYSTEMS-Union-11W262?functionCode=P2IDP2PCP
Gate valve - http://www.grainger.com/product/4EMJ5?cm_sp=HIO-_-HIDP-_-BTM_V2V&cm_vc=IDPBVZ12
I plan to run two (maybe 3) drains. One with the gate valve set to full siphon and one or two just as back ups. Been running this setup on two tanks for years and love how quite and safe it is.
Looked on Bulkreef supply but only found the gates, not the unions.
The 1" flexible PVC. primer. and glue I'll use for my return (and maybe the drain lines too) I'll get local at the the big box shop's.
On another note, I am debating on my front panels. Stand will be 2x4 and 2x6 construction. I may just recess some magnets and build some panels to pop on and off (front). Though I also like the idea of having the front panel on a slider of some sort. That way I can just roll it to one side or the other to access the sump. looking for thoughts on that and links to good vendors. Need to figure out my canopy too. Thinking I might do a 1x1 frame and either the magnets again or maybe some hinges that will lock at the top. That way I can lift the access door, lock it open, then lower when I'm ready.
LOL, I should probably start a build thread! Might do that.
