Thanks Guys. I expect to use the 3/4" on the return. When I think about this more, I would think the increased pressure through the smaller pipe should be ok. Francis, I hear you on the calculators on RC, I got the same thing which started my thinking this way. I may still go with the 1.25 on...

Yeah Billy...you are very close to what I am looking at. The only difference is that I am going off to the side by about 5 or 6 feet adding some horizontal distance. ( I am going through my wall into my newly created fishroom ;) I hear you on the 9.5 having a 3/4 exit port, so if that defines...

I have two questions to ask everyone to help ensure I don't go the wrong direction. I am planning on plumbing in a sump tomorrow and bought materials to go with a 1" on the drain and 3/4" on the return. The sump will hold approx. 25-30 galls. After running the calculator's on RC, it looks like...

Hey Mike & Paul - Thanks so much for your plumbing and electrical help today. You guys made one hell of a "swat" team to knock out this water supply problem I was looking at! There hasn't been too many "oohs" or "aahs" over my tank with the hair algae surge lately so having the plumbing...

I have seen the tank and it is impressive indeed. It has been a while, but I recall it is tank built around a mountain of LR. I need to pay another visit next time I see visit my sister in Tinton Falls. The clinic is actually very renowned as a leading facility for emergency care and (I believe)...

Thanks for pic. Ihop. I see how you connected the PVC. Our house is about 35 yrs old. The cast iron stops a few feet above the pic. The 3" copper drain pipe starts from there. Mike - The sink trap will be below this cap. I am putting in a pump to send the water up. If the cap can't be used, the...

I came across another possibility for plumbing in this basement sink. See the picture attached. I hope I am sending it correctly. It has been a while since I have posted pictures. Does anyone know if these caps can be re-opened to run drainage line into? If they can, I think it would reduce the...

Thanks IHOP - I may take you up on that as well! What town are you in? If we do connect, lunch and beer are on me. (once the sodering is complete ;) So I had a guy visit this morning and he seemed to be in a hurry to get out once he saw it wouldn't be a job worth a week's pay. I think the key...

Whoa - 2 in daycare AND one in college?? :o I guess it's about time I stop my whining! Maybe we could do a parental counseling session for me while we are at it! ;D Let's see what these guys say tomorrow. I had a pretty good feeling about the one. Plus, we are planning a kitchen redesign soon...

My previous system was arranged just how John is describing, although I had all the drain water running into the refuge. It worked well and the ball valve enabled me to keep the right type of flow for growing macro. I had a lfs drill the refuge for me for $25. I had a 90 with a 40 gallon to the...

Thanks guys....I think I 'll start and put in some work as Mike S. described and look for a plumber to give me a decent deal. I would love to spend the time plumbing in this custom sump and new skimmer that is collecting dust! Ihop - Gotcha on soddering, I may end up giving this a go...

Good morning folks - I have been deliberating (more like agonizing) as to whether as I should tackle plumbing in a utility sink for cold water supply and drainage in our basement where my tank is. The other way to go would be to pay a plumber to do it as time is such a precious commodity right...

Nice blueprint John! I am going hang this on my cube at work to ponder and motivate me to get going on my fishroom. (this is just another sign that I need get a new job as well) ;)

Hey Renee! Thank you so much for putting some of your valuable time into this. Naive as I am with acrylics, I didn't realize the difficulty level on this. I'd like to return the favor in some way soon. Note: I saw on melevsreef site that he uses a template to create teeth panels.Maybe this would...

I guess I should say good morning...(can't believe the time!) Can anyone provide the best source for glue. (hopefully local to Morris County)I am planning on using weld-on #4 on some modifications to a sump. I saw Melev's website suggests ordering it from a place for $28, but would love to hear...

I might very well be in for this. Pls let me know when you are planning on ordering them. What we would do, pick them up at a meeting? My stomach just turned a bit thinking about the budget. (also planning on a lighting purchase very soon) :'(........... ;D Thx, Bob

Thanks Renee - I had a really great time. Thanks also to all the cooks, it was all very delicious. It's has been ages since I had chili and it hit the spot. That cornbread bean dish was out of this world as well. I have been feeling down about my system at times, due to a lack of time and...

Hey Danthemanj - thanks for the offer. Renee may be able to cut them today. If not, I may take you up on that. My workplace is not too far from Piscat. One these days I will buy a table saw. (I am saving for light fixture first!) If you going by the meeting, I will see you later! ps....I just...

That's quite alright. In fact, I still may get a budget cutter to have around the place Thx

Phyl - That would be super- thanks again for extending. I am thinking that if I'm not able to line up with Renee to cut up the two strips, I may coordinate to provide you the strips to cut for me. I still have my current (but small) sump arrangement going so, I will work some options closer by...
