Red Sea Reefer modding help

[KingNebTheGreat]

So I got my hands on a second hand redsea 300 g2+ and I am not going to be setting up the sump because I just don't have the space. Instead I am going to use the overflow box as the filter and return pump area like a all in one tank. What I need help with is figuring out what material the pipes in the back are made of so I can get the proper cement/glue to cap them off. I read somewhere that they are made of acrylic but that was just a single source. Can't find any other info about the material online so I turn to the other diy-ers for help. Thank you everyone!

The pipes are either ABS, PVC, or CPVC!

I know this because I’ve tested all purpose pipe cement on them!

Thank you so very much for the immediate reply. I was hoping it was going to be a one of those so that makes my life sealing them a million times easier. Thank you so much!

Of course! Just keep in mind that your idea is going to leave you with a very minimalistic filtration system!

Oh, and the bulkheads which go to that plumbing are siliconed down to the bottom pane of the tank… you have to cut out the glass overflow box to access them for replacement! - keep this in mind when modifying things…

Here’s an important afterthought:

Red Sea uses metric plumbing components… this means all measurements are in MM, and are by outside diameter of pipe!

No worries I already got some custom made abs caps for them.
