Selbo February 7, 2012 February 7, 2012 Hello. I've been following along for a few months now doing research and assembling equipment for my first build. I think I'm finally at a point where I can start this tank. My problem is that I do not have any experience with plumbing tanks. I have a good idea for my design (it's a dual overflow, reef-ready tank) but I don't want to take any chances on leaks or faulty connections. I caught my wife at a weak moment to get this tank to begin with. Anyway, are there services/people you can recommend who will help me with the plumbing for my tank? Most places I've contacted want to do the entire set-up including choosing the equipment. I really just want someone to concentrate on the PVC work. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
scott711 February 7, 2012 February 7, 2012 welcome to WAMAS! Where are you located? Give us a description of what you want to do (ie tank size, etc)...
epleeds February 7, 2012 February 7, 2012 We have a few members that do this for a living. Where are u located.
Selbo February 7, 2012 Author February 7, 2012 I'm located on the Falls Church/McLean border - probably a couple of miles from the church where the last WAMAS event was held. The tank is a 210 (7x2x2) with dual overflows (one in each corner). I have a 60 gallon sump. The tank sits on a stand but the stand is over four feet tall so there's plenty of room inside the stand. My sump is the traditional configuration of skimmer section-return-fuge. The tank is completely empty right now. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

flowerseller February 8, 2012 February 8, 2012 lol, I am literally around the corner, less than 2 blocks. You can probably see my street from your house. Kngfisher is another 2 blocks away from me. If it was not Valentine's Day this weekend I could stop and have a look. Maybe after next Wednesday I could blink over one evening.

I wish I had an expert like Chip that lived that close to me! I think I am the only one that lives in Bailey's Crossroads. :-( Edited February 8, 2012 by Ryan S
