Well I think my plumbing is done.
Ok so it was recomended that I try weld-on 16 to seal the joints, after reading about it on there site I decided to give it a try, I think I am comming down off a glue high after having my head in the cabnet cementing for 30 min :D but I think it might work, Thanks Brad.

Nice Job Steve,
3 sides are sweet ! Couple Q`s... Is the sump with the spray bar going to be a fuge? Will it siphon back from the main tank feed lines,when the return pump is shut off? Marc. [ 25 June 2002, 18:55: Message edited by: Superfudge ]

Hi Steve.
Are you using welbon 16 on pvc joint? If you have to use glue, I think you should probably use Marine Goop instead. Welbon 16 is a solvent based glue for acrylic (disolved acrylic). Don't think it will work too well on PVC. If it is on acrylic, forget about this mail. Bongy

"IPS Weld-On 16 Cement A clear and thick cement for industrial grade acrylic. Heavy-bodied solvent for quick bond. Cements styrene, butyrate, and other plastics. Use on irregular edges, especially when high-strength (not bubble-free) joints are required. Good outdoor weatherability." if it doesent work then I will cover it with something else :D but it seams to be sticking very good. Marc, for your two questions 1, Is the sump with the spray bar going to be a fuge? It is a 25 gallon tank (the one you can see in the end of the stand and is intended for a secondary show tank (or a mantis home :D ) 2, Will it siphon back from the main tank feed lines,when the return pump is shut off? No it won't as the spray bar is fed from one of the drains in the main tank, so when the water level drops below my overflow bar, the flow to that tank stops. the level in here is higher than the sumps so it will remain constand and the sump will take up al the drained down water. Mike, thats what you get for going away and never callin :D oh by the way I have the second week of july off and I am going to be getting the rock then.. hint hint :D :D seriously though you need to stop by for coffee or something one of thease days Mike.
