Quiet pump for BRS GFO/Carbon Reactor

[Crob5965]

In the plumbing section near the flex hose you should be able to find a 3/4 T and just add that into the line

 

I'll take another look today and see if I cant rig something together, I still prefer this Idea over running another pump, if all else fails I will have the DC1200 tomorrow afternoon.

 

Thanks for the help

ok so I just got back from HD, I got all my plumbing supplies, I have 1 quick question, about the glue, I remember reading a while back that you had to leave the glue set for a few days because it can mess with the water quality, I bought as many threaded pieces as I could, but there will still be 1 or 2 pieces that I should probably glue.

 

Any thoughts on this? 

 

I could hook everything up and disconnect my sump for a day or 2 if needed

pvc glue dries fast. Its silicone you have to let dry for a couple days

OK, so I got everything plumbed up while I was doing a water change, worked out quite nicely, I switched out my 5Gal HD bucket with a 10 gal trash can for my ATO reservoir too, so now I have literally taken up every square inch under my tank. pictures to follow.

 

Thank you everyone for all the advice and recommendations, I am very happy with the results.

 

and Thank you to the Guy at HD for telling me that the Flex hose I have been using for the last 2 years will give my fish ich and kill all my Coral, I will hang on to that great piece of advice, along with eating cheese before bed gives you nightmares

Quick update after 2 days of running, everything is working great,  I went ahead and added a ball valve to the return even though the DC pump has an adjustable flow rate, it made dialing it in perfect, the noise is minimal, overall I am very happy with the project.

 

Thanks again to Isaac, John and Goskn5 and Wangspeed for all the input.
