temp DIY return...

So I made a trip to lowes and picked up some pvc...

Since I'm just "temping" the setup on my tank right now - i was not too worried about the look and more or less just going for a return to work for my needs right now..

So it started!



and then....



Now to finish letting the glue set then i'm gonna leak test it..

while the flow rate is not going to be "UBER FAST" it will return water to the tank which is all I need for now. The T end will sit half in water half ontop - so when the power drops or get's turned off - it will not suck water back in.

I'll let ya know how it goes..


BTW, in about 3 weeks im upgrading to a custom 96g which is more long than anything and i'm going to use it as a divider in the living room next to my computer. B4 people start going nutz, I'm aware of electronics and salt water.. lol...
just wait and see.

That pvc glue sets fast, so in less than 2 minutes you should be gtg.

 

Ya, it went good...
Actually ran into a small issue where my overflow can't keep up so i'm having to add additional line to slow the input down a bit. but yea, it werks.
