I have a 37 gallon column tank. I am wanting to do a sump and make it a display tank. I purchased an overflow box and and a dcp 4000. I was going to do soft plumbing. Well, part pvc and then soft. I unfortunately didn’t think that far ahead when I made the stand, so I believe I would be better off with tubing. But I am lost. I’ve searched videos to see the best way to go about this. I haven’t been able to find anything on how to do the plumbing. Everything I find is hard plumbing. You have any pointers that I can use.
One of my main questions is do I need gate valves or ball valves with soft plumbing. This is what is causing me to be stuck. The DCP is adjustable in regards to flow, so do I really need it on the return. I had someone who was helping me out at the LFS, but the store was slow so they let him go. Any info you can give me I would appreciate. Any pictures would help as well. Or directions to any videos.
thanks
