now it's time to work on the fuge. this miracle mud thing came with the refugium so i used it. not gonna get into the argument of whether it's good or not. it was there, and i used it. end of discussion.

in vinnland, we are told there's no heaven. no greek mythology, hence no crazy zeus

if you are confident that everything's connected correctly you can push the entire stand back in. it's now doubly heavy.

before you do any of this, be sure to put your refugium inside under the stand. it's easier to work this way i found out.

then you connect the Y tube to the pump, and from each end of the Y should go the clear tubing. it leads to one of the two returns. use the clamps on each connection that has no thread.

then as you slip the tube in, you turn it around in circles so the cement apreads out thoroughly. the cement will take minutes to cure so you have that much time to work with. once it's secured it'll take hours to totally cure.

then you connect one end of the flexible tube to the bottom of overflow through the bulkhead. before you do, you should apply the tube with cement

many of these things, you can find online, and you'll recognize them if they have pictures. in this picture i have a ball valve for water regulation, and a check valve for back-flood prevention. i also have a Y connector with a coupling to fit the pump.

this one shows the hole where the threaded 'bulkhead' will go into. the two tubes are for the returns. the pump leads up to these and to the Y nozzles. you'll need those white tapes where there are threaded. and you'll need clamps on where there are not.

and i always call it diego garcia! why would anyone want to move away from san diego???

this is the back of the tank, stand, and the overflow. not shown here is the drilled hole on the bottom of the overflow. you'll want a durso stand pipe to make the drain, which is not shown here. what this picture tells you is that, don't push the tank in until you're done with the plumbing, coz...

in case you haven't noticed, you do need a tank and a stand. this is a standard 80g, 4 feet long, etc, etc. don't remember the other details. the overflow is built-in, meaning it's firmly glued to the back glass. it has teeth on all three sides and two holes on the two sides for returns.

sandy eggo is your name or that's the place? ***)

just so we understand each other: i am a psycho, a freak, a pervert, an ass, etc. so... expect the unexpected i guess.
