pvc pipes

Primer whatever surfaces are being glued together. If a piece of PVC is going inside another piece or fitting, then you need to primer the inside of that piece.
 
:D At least PVC is cheap. My very first time ever with handling plumbing and PVC was with trying to plumb my 120g. It was interesting, and a few things took a few tries, but I managed to get it to work...and it's still working today, two years later. It's amazing the things this hobby has opened me up to. :lol:
 
Put pencil marks at all the joints and mark numbers if you have to.
this is actually a great idea. THANKS!

on the other hand...digital camera..forget about it lol

thanks~
 
Here's another tip, DOnt do it in the house unless you have to, if you have to in the house make sure you open all windows, especially if you have a wife like me, lol
 
Shooter7 I agree plumbing was a bit of a challenge but I sure learned alot by plumbing a tank people are still amazed when I show them under my tank. Actually I am still amazed when I look under my tank. One thing to remember is to make sure that you put union and ball valves were needed union most importantly. Also what I did is i put everything together the way that I wanted and then I took a marker and marked how far pieces were suppose to be slid into the other piece of pvc. This is helpful because you dont want to glue 5 pieces together and then end up short on one end or whatever.
