Message them and ask if they can offer a discount on a return pump if you get the tank bundle

Love the stand and sump ... wish it all was a little smaller. Bigger thank than I want for now.

Oh also they instructed me this
Message them with your shipping address and ask if they can offer any discount based on your location
The price bundle includes the shipping charge, but if your location is in a zone with a lower rate, they can offer a better price
I would send a message saying you are interested in the tank bundle with the plumbing, your shipping address is bla bla, and ask what is the best price they can offer it for
Then also say you need a return pump and ask if they have any return pumps with discounts if you bought the whole setup

Well I already paid for it. I got the full setup with the plumbing. It'll be here tomorrow. But thanks for trying to help out. I might still ask them about the return pump though. So how many gph should the pump be, in case I get a different one.

So I finally received the tank. It's very nice. Doors were unlevel but I adjusted them and fixed that. Looks good, no cracks. But looking at the silicone in one of the top corners it looks like there's a little gap. Nothing huge. Is that an issue or nothing to be concerned about? Also looks like I'm missing that filter thing on the main drain you guys got. Check out the pics.

You should have a strainer there. Contact them via Etsy they will mail it out. I would send the picture of the seam. Mine doesn’t have that, I would ask them about it.
Now going to check for strainer and seam gaps!

Should have strainer on one pipe and cap on the opposite pipe

Find anything?
Seems look ok so far. Will take a look tomorrow with a strong beam flashlight to get a look on the inside seams down at the bottom.
Third hole looks plugged up:
I don't have a filter on the first hole, though.
I decoded to go with the 1 inch RFG plus locline mod. But I don't know how this fits together:
These threads don't fit in the output (sleeve?).
Any ideas?

Return bulkhead is supposed to be 1” threaded. Did you order 1” Threaded lockline and 1” rfg fell vca?

According to vca we would need these two items to use 1” rfg

They told me they don't include the strainer anymore, but they'll send it anyway. I'm sure they'll send you one too.Seems look ok so far. Will take a look tomorrow with a strong beam flashlight to get a look on the inside seams down at the bottom.

That’s interesting. I was unaware of that. Wonder why?
Glad they are sending though
Yes, those are the two I ordered, but I don't see any threaded locline that would go into the 1 inch tube.According to vca we would need these two items to use 1” rfg
