My 75 gallon build (Redneck 2.1)

[pulpfiction1]

Well,since my 60 gallon cube didn't work out i picked up this 75 from here (thx minisrmylife),first had to make a spot in this little apt,then out to the balcony to drill some holes.Will update as it progresses.


update:
finished the sump today (after i got a new glass cutter)kinda messy with the silicone but i hope to trim it up some once it dries,finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel,this build has had a few setbacks but i feel its gonna go good from here on in, i hope to have the new and improved redneck 2.1,smaller,quieter and less bulk from past redneck tanks

Looks like some nice industrial fitting.

Re: My 75 gallon build

ive never had a failure with these fittings yet,nor leaks

 

[reeffreak]

Re: My 75 gallon build

whats the price of those fittings ?

 

[pulpfiction1]

Re: My 75 gallon build

the valves?or the bulkheads? or just the general pvc?  bulkheads average 8 bucks,pvc fittings start at 79 cents,those big ball valves start at $12 all threaded,these valves disassemble to service when required

Re: My 75 gallon build

$12 for a threaded ball! there 4.59 a rona.

Re: My 75 gallon build

ya sorry lack of explanation on my part , the valves are what I was asking about . Those industrial bulkheads are huge compaired to ones you would get from IA or any other fish site , are they not ?

Re: My 75 gallon build

yes,twice the size including the gasgets,you can tighten these suckers down without worry

When things are built like tanks they will cost more. Also they would have alot more pressure then any aquarium pump I would think.
