Little glass box....confusion....must ..need...help!

Post by SaltnLime »

I am trying to come up with some plumbing ideas for my 29 Gallon. I want to add a SCWD wavemaker on a closed loop and possibly a sump .. All with bulkhead fittings and rear plumbing.

I just cant seem to agree with myself on where to place bulkhead...what pumps to use and sump design...etc..etc.. Maybe someone with alittle more experience could do some hand holding here and keep my brain from exploding.

If you can help I will add the rest of the info here....Or we can talk via phone (pm me your # and time to call or ask for mine) . I will be placing my (our) progress on the DIY forum.

yeah... Cant wait until I get it back. I hope the design we came up with works. Been thinking though. I have one inch bulk heads but want 3/4 inch plumbing. Gotta get some reducer fittings.

3/4 plumbing = 1" OD. Are you having 1" holes drilled, or 1" bulkheads?
