Installing a Custom Glass Aquarium – Day 2
Here is the second day of our 450 gallon custom tank build. If you haven’t yet, please check out our previous post where we placed this 1500lb tank onto the stand. We are going to be installing the filtration to keep saltwater fish alive. Today’s work required a significant amount of plumbing with 3 separate plumbing loops (open system, closed system and Reverse osmosis/topoff system).
We decided to use 2″ rigid PVC for the open system drain pipes and black flexible hose for the return lines. The large grey unions over the sump are there in case the sump ever needs to be removed for any reason in the future. Throughout this filtration install you will notice that we have included valves and unions between every component to make future maintenance or repairs much easier.
