    I'm an HVAC person. We use a ton of PVC Make sure you make nice, straight (square) cuts. Use a knife to cut the debris (PVC shavings if you've made a cut with a saw) away from the pipe end. Use PVC cleaner on both the fitting and the pipe piece. (You can use the purple PVC primer to do the...

    Emperor vs. small sump

    Thanks for the input. Sump recommended even if it's only a two gallon sump? Another in the pro collumn: I already have this mini sump, so I wouldn't have to spend anything. Oh. one more in the plus collumn for the sump... An Emperor 400 will not fit (measured one yesterday.) would have to...

    Emperor vs. small sump

    New Tank

    It depends on where I end up putting it. If I build a stand for it, there's not much room for a sump. :happyfish If I put it in in a little nook between 2 windows, there will be room for a sump. I have a 10 gal aquarium that I was considering using for a sump for the 55gal anyway. I was...

    New Tank

    I have a 55 Gal. tank with about 20lbs of live rock and some fish and some crabs. I am the proud recent purchaser of a 75 Gal. hex tank. In spite of LFS recommendation (poor gas exchange) I want this to be a lionfish tank. I plan to start with some live rock and plenty of filtration. My hope is...
