Just a quick question, when connecting pieces of PVC pipe is just slipping them together gonna be water tight or should I use PVC glue I would think the glue would be harmfull to fish.
Just your basic PVC glue and teflon tape for threaded connections should do it? On the Return it goes from 1/2" PVC to an adapter then 1" tubing connected with a clamp to about 6" of tubing. The tubing slips over the flow director tightened with another clamp. Does this sound right or is there a better way to connect 1/2" pvc to a flow director??Glue them. You might be OK for the overflow, but definitely glue the return.
I emptied the water it has some slime on the walls of the skimmer. I can't fit my hand in the cylindar of the turboflotor to clean it. I guess I could use a brush to clean it.. You don't want to pump that stagnant water back into the tank.
