Quick plumbing help needed - Please

[ninjamini]

I am doing the plumbing on my 90 gal reef ready. The all glass overflow kit comes with dual nozzles. They however do not reach both sides of the overflow. Even if you put it in the middle of the drain it just reaches. Anyone have a clue whats up?

I think you have to but more pipe.

 

[ninjamini]

Its a all glass tank and a all glass overflow kit. Why would they make it too small.

 

[sign guy]

the kit should have
2 bulkheads
2 pipes one of wich is extendable

As you can see from this photo the returns go too far forward and the one pointing to the left does not reach the other side. Yes-yes I have not cut the pipe yet, I know. Someone has to have this answer.

This simple to install kit contains bulkhead fittings, pre-filter, standpipe, float, return pipe with flexible nozzle, pre-filter media, straight and 90 degree barb fittings, which is enough to outfit one corner overflow

 

[sign guy]

you have the corner overflow kit

 

[sign guy]

see it is shorter than a back over flow

I guess. But I have the megaflow kit. It has a sticker on it that says " Kit...hell here is a picture:

Did you but the extra lockline? I think they only give you enough for one return. The reason the palstic covering has 2 cut outs is because they use the same plastic covering for tanks with overflows on the left and on the right, it doesn't mean that you are equiped to do both. You can though just get some extra lockline.

 

[ninjamini]

Anyone know how this works?

 

[sign guy]

yeah in the pic you are missing a loc line

 

[ninjamini]

a what? I think that it is built into the two nozzles.

Isn't that exactly what this is? 2 nozzles one for each side?
