Hey everyone,

After taking about two years off from reefing I finally decided to get back into it. I still have all my old equipment including stand, skimmer, led, controller, mp10, heater, ato, and test kits from my old set up which was a PiCo SIII (18x18x9) AIO tank.

Since I have all of the equipment and a stand for an 18X18 tank I think I am going to order a 20g AIO from Advanced Acrylics that is 18X18X15. http://advancedacrylics.com/collections/cube-tanks/products/rimless-cube-tanks

Does anyone have any experience with these tanks? I also noticed that I am going to have to do all the plumbing for the return pump in the third chamber.

I went on BRS trying to figure out what the heck I need, I came up with this stuff.

Return: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/sicce-syncra-silent-1-0-pump-251-gph.html

1/2" inside diameter tubing: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/white-soft-silicone-tubing-sold-by-the-foot.html

Clamps: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/ratchet-clamp-for-tubing-1-6684828461f4e5bda1e2a33b5e0db6d3.html

Here is where I get lost.

So I know I need this 1/2" Loc-Line for the flare nosel to connect to but I dont know what the lock line screws into: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/loc-line-male-npt-connector.html

I figure that I need this on the inside of the third chamber, to connect to the tubing, but it doesn't seem to have any threads on the inside for the Loc Line to screw in to: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/90-elbow-barb-x-spigot-street.html


Happy to be back! Thanks for any advice or help.

Dave

Welcome back. Seems like nobody can stay out for too long. I got sucked back in after 12 yrs. I thought I was out, but i'm hooked harder than ever!
