my new baby... AKA The Café

Amen

I don't think we are allowed to agree. It's a trap. You've been married long enough to know these tricks ; )

This is the "accidental" sinularia frag in the puddle, I moved the colony to the twins and this had attached to the scape and peeled off, six or seven inches tall now and it is on scape rock so I can't move it down!

I’ll probably be unavailable tomorrow. Going to they the new tank up. Only other thing planned is an oil change on my car. Will take pictures and spam spam spam when I’m done.

Exciting stuff! Looking forward to the splam!

I’m concerned I don’t know what I’m doing or if I have all the parts should be great

So the pipe on the left is 3/4 . This, according to y’all, should be my main drain line. So I plan on cutting it using a coupling and refitting it to make it look like the one in the middle. And turning the one in the middle to my emergency drain line.

when the guy resealed my tank he said he broke that bulk head but it looks fine to me. Unless it should look like that bulkhead to the far right?

so when hooking up the actual lines I noticed all the bulk heads (except the one on the far right) are threaded (on the inside)So if I go with the ones that are threaded I need to get something to connect unthreaded to threaded? And just use the tape stuff when connecting? And glue the other unthreaded part into the piece that connects. I also believe I should keep the first pieces coming out of the tank short and hook them up to the remaining run with a couple unions.

so the two on the left are threaded on the inside and the outside?

Yes

And I am unsure why that bulk head to the far right has the barb connection

 

[sp1187]

Yes

if I'm understanding your question, no, you need to thread a coupling into it. with no thread you would cement the joining pipe into it.

barb connection would be for soft tube connection with a pipe clamp over it... I think.

you got a fish store close to home?

Ok so I need to get a coupling with thread on one side and a slip on the other? So I can push my pipes in, and cement those.

Close enough

 

[Reefing_addiction]

Just come over and do this for me please

Hitting refresh like it a live sale waiting for a reply lol

and then thread it into the existing.
take it all with you to the lfs. mine, and hopefully yours, have the fittings. that way you match everything there.
mine is a different setup. I've got a side glass overflow.

I’m guessing I should go talk to them?
