yes im gonna t it at the fuge,like yours. i just got the pvc for the manifold, i just got 3/4 all around. Im gonna order the pump today then if its okay. Thanks bro!

Just a suggestion but I wish I had used a gate valve instead of a ball valve, it would give a finer adjustment.
Also I had to get a smaller pump I was going close to 600GPH I have a ca 1200 now and like it. might want just a little smaller pump I re read your post and the first time I read it I thought it said 400 not 480 that might be a bit large for a 10 gal sump.

Cool. i will look for a smaller pump. I just wanted enough flow for the fuge and to run the manifold. What gph is your 1200?

[jojo22]

Larger than I thought its says 550 on the website, but I don't tink it's that high.

I ordered the pump, bulkhead, silicone. This pump is just under 400gph

[jojo22]

Should serve you fine!!!!!!!!!

[cweber]

YEAH!!! My pump and bulkhead came today. Im hopping the tank will be wet tonight. Does the rubber for the bulkhead go inside the tank or outside?

[jojo22]

I always put the seal inside, less chance of it drying out and cracking that way, IMO.

I got my glass sheets for the sump today. Im building it now Watching silicone dry isnt quite my dream day but im excited. The sheets are just a tid to wide at 10 inches even. so some of them are tweeked to the side a bit. Anyway i will try and post pics this evening if its done.

Well here is my sump. I will test it out tommorow night. If you notice the scratches its the cracked tank. I repaired it with a few pieces of glass.
