Sump plumbing opinions...

[DracoKat]

I am always learning new things.. and before I finalize my sump plumbing, i want to see what you guys think..

Should I use threaded pipes where ever possible so I can take apart to clean.. and chance a leak.

Or should I glue everything together and rely on moving water to keep the pipes clean?

I am not sure which route to go!

I hate to boost my own topic, but I am eager to hear what you guys think

Generous use of union joints allow you to have the benefits of both.

This is why I ask questions.. will get some on my way home! Thanks :)

Glue your joints. Why will you need to clean the inside of your pipes?? If you ever plan on adding equipment or tying things together, or want access at a certain point, definitely add unions in these areas especially!

lol @Aquaman024 - that was my original thinking. I am not sure if I will add other items after this, since it's a 75 gal tank, not a 300 gal. maybe as a "just in case" I'll add unions?
