So after much trial and error, I've decided to plumb my new tank with Spa Flex.
I have a few questions though. When connecting Spaflex to elbows or T fittings, do they work the same way as pvc pipes? Is it simply a matter of getting PVC glue and putting them together or do I need to connect them in a whole different manner?
Also, my new tank is a 20L on a stand. I have an overflow box with 2- 1" holes leading down to the sump. Do you think a QuietOne pump 3000 which has a GPH of about 780GPH, would suffice for a return? The return will be split into 2 differnt returns, one at each end of the tank coming out through 1" bulkheads.
I just hope that the pump will be able to handle that.
Next, I'd like to plumb an external CL system. Can anyone advise me on a very quiet external pump that's rated for about 1500GHP (because it will be a predominantly clam/sps tank and it will also go through a SCWD) that isn't too expensive and can be plumbed externally?
Thanks everyone in advance.
