    Been away awhile back with a question

    My old system has become a mess while I was away the last few months and I decided to set up a new system in my basement. There’s a ton of organics in the substrate (over feeding by my “professional” tank sitter) so I could use a fresh start. I have an 8x4 by 28 inch tall pool I will be using...

    Plumbing sizing for single return pump for two tanks

    I originally posted in DIY, and I'm now trying to figure out plumbing sizing coming from a single return pump. I was going to T off from my return pump (COR-15) to fit 3/4" line to my display and 1/2" to my frag tank. Is there any negligible difference if I T off with a 3/4" connector vs...

    Plumbing

    For a drain… When transitioning from 1.5” to 1” is it better to use a 1.5” to 1” bushing or should you gradually reduce with 1.5” to 1.25” bushing with a section of 1.25” pipe then a 1.25” to 1” bushing?
