Hi reef central, my name is Lee. Recently I had the chance to work on my new project, setting up a new 55 rimless aquarium, very happy that I got a OK from my wife. This is my first time plumbing a tank and have a lot of questions on PVC fittings especially, there are so many fittings, can you help me to choose them?
The overflow is going to be a 1" bulkhead threaded off the back of tank
Question 1 : what fitting do you all use to connect the threaded bulkhead on the outside? I looked into hard wear stores to Internet , couldn't find a clear answer.
Question 2: what size will be the best returns line for a 55 gallon? if I choose a 1/2" pipe, will I easily find a good pump with 1/2" return line?
Question 3 can some one help me understand what each fiting is for? :headwally::headwally
Sorry for asking so many questions!
