Last time I bought the AGA Megaflow Kit for my two overflows. I got a new tank now and don't want to buy the $50 kit. Please let me know if I am on the right track or if I am way off base.
I have one over flow so I think I need:
1" and 3/4" bulkheads
Two MPT to barb adaptors which screw into the bottom of each bulkhead and then I attached the flexible tubing down to the sump
I was thinking for the drain part I would use the Aquasilencer that Premium Aquatics sells and this would take care of the entire drain side because it just slips into the bulkhead
Now the return part I am having trouble with. I know lockline modular tubes at the very end but what do I need between the bulkhead and the lockline? I was thinking some type of pvc pipe to slip fit into the bulkhead? which schedule? then how do I connect the lockline moudular tube to the pvc pipe? some type of elbow adaptor maybe?
