I've had a reef tank going in my apartment for almost a year now, and I recently saved enough to get everything to add on a sump. The tank is drained and drilled, inhabitants are in a temp tank, and I'm ready to start plumbing.
So if anyone could help answer these few final questions, that would be great.
I only plan on having this tank (29g DT, 20g sump) running for one year at this apartment. Once I move out I will upgrade, so if I could plumb it some way to be able to reuse the plumbing, that'd be great.
Current plans:
I plan on using flex pvc for this build. From the overflow elbow connect a union, then attach the flex pvc to the union and run down to the sump. (Can flex go directly into a union?)
For the return from my eheim 1262, small bit of rigid pvc tubing, then a T off to a 1/2 line for reactors. Connecting to the top of the T, back to flex pvc all the way up to the return elbow of the tank (where I assume another union should be placed).
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
