Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Ok @Robin Haselden you are gonna have to talk us through this. We've done kitchen/bath plumbing. Andrew wants to plumb this. He CAN do it. I will just need help with what order things go in to make it work the best. Quiet. I'd prefer to use threaded so things can be replaced if need be. You can tell me the parts that will most likely fail.

I'm with you on the threaded valves and such, I did a bunch of threaded on my dads and it worked out well.

I would join in on the being upset at the WWC live sale but I came out of it 6 pieces so I guess I can't gripe.

So you're the one? :) We will expect pics!

What? Did I hear you just volunteer to help us decide?? Lol

 

[mch1984]

Exactly. He is asking for black/clear/blue colors.

I painted the handle on my gate valve and ball valves I got from BRS. Turned out nice.

That is ******!!!

Oops. Bad ***

Just find some krylon with the color you want. It was a lot of tape work but it turned out nice.

Did you rough up the PVC first?

I'm waiting for @dantimdad to comment on the stickers still being on the plumbing lol.

No I didn't, the actual PVC was already purple. It came with the tank so I just decided to make the rest match it.

 

[Katrina71]

Ya did good! It all looks perfect.

Duuuuude... you're killing me. You have such good looking plumbing (purple is my favorite color) but you did not take the stickers off those three fittings. I'm dyin' ova here!

Haha, I should probably take them off at some point but just haven't done it. Thank you though

YW... but I'm still DYINNNNNNN' OVVAAAAAAAAA HERE! :eek: LOL

I still have to get the rest of mine off!

But, yes, those look hideous! (just kidding)

 

[dantimdad]

BTW, I found something that will take those stickers off without being smelly or marring the plastic. 92% rubbing alcohol. The normal stuff you get is 50% at most. If you go to the pharmacy, they sell it.

I use it for cleaning my print bed on the 3d printer, removing stickers and for first aid (Dear Lord! That stuff burns!)

It doesn't cost but a few cents more than the regular kind.

Cannot say that I've ever heard of 92% rubbing alcohol. I know 91% is quite popular and one can also get 99+% isopropyl alcohol but this 92% is a new one on me. Then, again, @dantimdad is involved and he often gets very special things that only he can get! ;)

I like using a lighter and some Aqua Net to remove stickers and other things! ;Wacky

 

[dantimdad]

Maybe it's 91%. Not looking at the bottle.

I am not one to carry around alcohol like some people... ;Wideyed
