Hey all,
I picked up a HOB Fuge from someone and they didnt have time to explain much (and had to run out of town unexpectantly) so I figured I try to get some help on here.... Feel kinda dumb asking but I want to make sure i do it right and not flood my room.
Alright, the DT is a 29gal standard (He had it on a 37g until he upgraded). The Fuge holds 5gals but im stumped on the pluming. It has a 1in "u" tube that goes from the fuge to the overflow box however the 'u tube' is "free-standing" (not connected to anything) Im wondering if I need to run some sort of pump to start the siphon.
In the middle there is another "free standing" piece of 1/2in pvc pipe that is the "return" (it also has a small hole drilled into the end cap to add additional flow to the next chamber in the fuge). He did say that a small pump was needed for this.
I remember him saying that just a return pump was needed, so I guess my question is how does the water get from my DT into the Fuge??? (feel really stupid lol)
Picture below:
Pluming (2 free standing pieces):
Thanks, I appreciate the help
