Hello I purchased this pump for my tank and I was wondering if it is possible to hard plumb the return? Two can it be ran external? Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me, I do not think that a vertical run of tubing will work, the weight of the piping above will then push down on the pump. When you say the threads are metric I know that there are metric adapters for Red Sea tanks are available, question about the threads say the type that we use in the US there is piping threads and then there is the threads that a hose will tighten too.
So are the threads the water hose type, or plumbing type, sorry I do not know the correct terms.
Yes, I have seen them used that way before. Just like with other external use applications, make sure to run a short length of vinyl to the inlet and outlet before converting to hard plumbing. This alleviates stress on the front housing.Can this be used as an external pump (indoors) for a saltwater mixing station?
