broomer5-sump/refuge shopping list???

[benihuma]

Hello broomer,
I've been admiring your site and now want to duplicate your entire sump/refuge setup, except for the timed spraybar. I've already ordered the lifereef overflow and both magdrives, and i've got the rubbermaids and heaters. Basically, could you post or email me a list of all the other things I'll need and where to order/find them? I have no idea on fittings, valves, tubing, etc... If you could do that for me, I would gladly mail you a check to compensate you for the time spent. Thank you very much.

Home Depot or Lowes should have all the PVC fittings, piping and vinyl tubing. At least the HD here did.
Here's the play by play set up instructions - this may help as well.
If you do a search at www.google.com, and search for the following;
aquarium plastic fittings
plastic hose clamps aquarium
flexible flare fittings aquarium
You'll find several places to shop online.
Post back if you are still having trouble finding what you need.
I won't take your money - although a nice gesture
Save it for sump parts

Broomer, may I use your writeup on sump/refuge on my website if I promise to give you full credit? The site's not up yet but I'm aiming for a DIY type instruction site. I'd also love to host some pics of your tank if you'd be willing to share
Thanks,
Paul

Thank you so much, broomer. Since you won't take my money, I'll post pics of my progress once I get everything together. Thanks again.

So I should be able to find most everything at the local HD? If so that is great news. Looks like I'll be going on a shopping spree today.

I found everything at Home Depot except the flexible nozzles, bulkhead fittings and plastic hose clamps.
benihuma ~ I will email you the online site where I purchased these items.
Give me a few minutes - okay

Paul - sure you may use the write up and if you want some pics - just grab them off my site or I can send to you - either way.
