I would like to see how you plumbed your tank with spa flex. I am about to plumb mine and I think that spa flex is the way im going to go. I am doing a aga 120 with duel over flows with a mag 12 return pump in a 29 gallon sump. so if you have pics or experiences i would appreciate it.

why only a 29gal sump? I'm not criticizing just curious if you have a particular reason. I went with a 40 gal breeder under my 120. It was the largest that I could fit in the stand. I still have about 6" on 1 side of the tank where the CA reactor sits. Anyways.... I didn't do my entire plumbing in spa flex but pieces of it are in spa flex so here you go.

One thing with spa flex that I found out AFTER I did my plumbing is that spa flex is ment to be glued into fitting of some sort, not hose clamped on like mine is. If I ever get the ambition again I will fix it.

That is not spaflex. Spaflex is simply flexible PVC, and is glued the same way as rigid PVC.

Here's mine:

The large vertically mounted pump is the CL pump.
