I bought a 210 bowfront tank 3 years ago. The LFS set it up and in hindsight I wish I had done the plumbing myself. ITs running an no major issues right now.
I am considering re-plumbing the sump to include a manifold for GFO/ Carbon, UV sterilizer, and CA reactor instead of multiple pumps. Is this possible to do in an established running tank? How long do I have with the tank not running though sump/ protein skimmer and will the PVC solvents and primers affect the tank since it will be hooked back up within hours of gluing the PVC. I plan to remove all the pluming that was done and start with new bulkheads and all new pipe. They did a very basic plumbing job and has limited what I can add on to the tank.
Thanks!
