my new baby... AKA The Café

[Reefing_addiction]

I went with this tubing I got at lfs. Male end slides into bulk head, glued and done. Its 1" overflows but the corrugated tubing opens up to probably almost 1.5". Also went with 1.5" up top.
Its going to be wierd when I tear down the other table. Its all u can hear in the room at this point

Need to find me some of that

 

[twiatr2001]

corrugated stuff like that can be bought fairly easily at any pool store, a lot of hot tubs use that corrugated plumbing.

the LFS I mentioned talked about it like only peasants use soft plumbing back when I was first getting in.

I do believe I will go with this stuff. Don’t know how it’d work with the 4 return idea. But then again, if I have the massive tote as a sump I’m not as concerned about back flow

What’s the stuff called

 

[twiatr2001]

Thanks guys, I don't see a Problem with using it as a drain, but I would do more research on it if your gonna use it as a return with pressure, I had this stuff on my pool which runs anywhere between 5-15ppm of chlorine and over a few years the corrugated parts would become brittle and split causing my pool to drain, LOL. Being that saltwater is pretty corrosive, personally I would hard plumb it myself, but I'm sure there's guys that run this stuff all the time simply because of the ease of being flexible.

I'm really not sure. Id look up corrugated drain pipe in aquarium stuff or Google.

Pretty sure its pvc? I can def see that happening with the elements. You do have a point with the saltwater though. If it ever came to it I'd switch out to same set up. I do like that it turns and flows smooth.

Ok so me dosing is going ok. Want some input
Up until two nights ago I was dosing 5ml of ESV b-ionic
The other night my dKH was 8.4 so I dosed 2ml
Next night dKH was 8.6 so I dose 1ml
Tonight dKH was 8.4 so I dosed 1.5ml

Hopefully tomorrow it’s 8.5dkh if it is should I dose 1 or 1.5ml?

So I found this link at a local true value that stocks it, so you can google it by wherever you live, https://www.truevalue.com/catalog/p...e-crushproof-1-1-2-in-x-150-ft/category/5923/

Not quite exactly same stuff. The stuff I went with has male slip pvc on both ends. The corrugated pipe also looks like pvc. Ill have to check for part # on the end I cut off. Now I'm interested to know what its made of.
