Finally starting up the new (In-wall) tank

[ReefCartel]

How much of an affect will it have on the flow since its being pushed with a pump about 5 more extra feet.

That shouldn't be a problem, long as you got the space for a pipe that diameter.

I ran out of 1" PVC Pipe for the drain valve leading to the sink lol but I have a 5 foot 1-1/2" pipe. Would it be a bad idea to use a reducer and extend the 1" with a 1-1/2" pipe leading to the sink?

 

[143MPCo]

Wow that really looks great nice job!

All depend on the pumps head pressure rating... what pump is that?

That's such a nice clean setup.

Thanks Fellaz

Hey bud. Would you know what These are called? I might need one for the external pump (3/4" female fitting). Disconnecting the vinyl flex tubing will be impossible.

Menards, home depot or local hardware store will have them on hand. Use them a lot to fix garden hoses.

If you can't find the right sized mender, you can use a 1" PVC union to slip end bard.... like the picture below.

 

[ReefCartel]

Ahh okay gotcha!

 

[ReefCartel]

So one side of the union is threaded and the other side is slip for the barb yah?

That was my mistake, threaded on both works best... otherwise you'd have to buy two unions as they're only sold in either slip x slip or thread x thread.

ok got it. Thanks bud

Looking at the pressure gauge I noticed that it's well above the 60 or 80 psi recommended to operate optimally you might want to consider putting a reducer or pressure regulator on that, I think BRS still sells them.
AZDesertRat what would you recommend?
