I'm planning on buying the glass-holes overflow and return but want to use pvc instead of flexible hose. Has anyone done this? I need to come up with a shopping list of parts I'll need to set it up this way. So far I have this:
Pvc pipe: blue from bulk reef supply
Fittings: white or gray
45 degree elbow pipe for overflow
45 degree elbow pipe for return
I've read up on plumbing but this is my first diy plumbing project. Should I use a little flexible tubing coming out of the return pump to decrease vibration? If so, what kind of fitting is needed to attach it to the pvc return pipe? Should I glue or buy fittings that can be unscrewed (or a combination of both). I research everything like crazy before I try something new, so your help is greatly appreciated!!!!
