Should be finishing Sump build today, hope to have pics soon.

 

doing things a bit different this time. I couldnt find a bulkhead small enough for what I had in mind so I decided to go with this :



It is 1/2"x1/2" john guest bulkhead union. I will be using 1/2" john guest tubing along with an inline ball valve to adjust flow as needed. The bulkhead did not come with a gasket so I did what most reefers hate and used silicone to secure it to the galss and ensure a water tight fit.

Here are a few quick pics :








And here is where I shed blood making the sump :

 

Leak test SUCCESSFUL !!!!

 

Have a 90* quick connect on order to straighten out the return line a bit

 

awesome build

 

Thanks, I really want to keep this tank long term so I'm putting in a little extra effort up front.

 

FINALLY

 

Lookin good. I have had my jbj picotope running for about 2 years now. Mine is sumpless so the extra water volume should help you keep this tank long term.

 

Thanks man , I have followed your pico for a while. One of the better ones I must say.
