Damn! Shout out @HappyHydroGrower
You covered like everything I could think of :laughing::v:

Oh wait, how did you manage to get the threaded tractor supply bulkheads to work? I know there’s some sort of adapter to be able to slip the pvc into, not sure what it’s called tho :thinking:

Size tent?

What if you had a piece of plywood sitting on wheels that was big enough to support all of your equipment. That way if you needed to pull it out from the wall, it would all move together. :+1:t2::v::sunglasses:

Yup you have to screw that into the union. Make sure you hit that with tape as well.

I did think of something like that before I reassembled the tent, but decided I’d just make sure to leave more then enough room from tent to the wall for easy rez access.

I figured rigging the return line to the back of the tent where there’s only a bottom opening and out of the way would be best!

Copy that!

So I’m just about to head out to lowes to grab a 1/2” x 3/4” elbow for the rez pump, and also those threaded adapters.
I just happen to grab a 3/4” ball valve the other day.
I’ll grab a 1 1/2” ball valve so they can be assembled all together

Ah hell… wait a second lol, before I rinse repeat the last 2 days. I need to rethink the pumps, if there’s a way to not have to submerse them then I’m all for it. I have 2x 400gph active aqua pumps

Wait a sec, here we go. I’ll Pull a page out of the ole happyhydro play book, :laughing:
So I think I’ll go ahead and submerse the pump for the totes, and run the chiller as inline. Since I’ve already got most of the parts for the submerse pump.
Have plenty of hose to use, I saw one of your pictures from Robert’s thread, very useful for visual representation
