I'm ready to set up my first reef tank. I've spent months acquiring equipment and supplies and doing my research. Now that it's actually time to start putting everything together I realize I've never done anything with plumbing in my life and its a bit daunting. I'm sure it's not incredibly difficult, but I haven't seen too much info out there for those of us who have never had to put a bunch of PVC together!
I understand the general concepts of the plumbing... ie: where I need to have pipes going to and from and where I should put my pumps... but in regards to hooking them to the pumps, to each other, getting them to go where I need them to go, what sizes they need to be, if I should have flexible tubing or just use PVC, if I should install shut off valves... I have no clue! Any help or links to resources is appreciated!
My tank is 40 gallons. I have a 20 gallon sump, a CPR overflow box, and an in-tank refugium. Help please
