I use telfone tape nothing much but it works for me.

i now know why i haven't been to lowes in years. i went there since i was over in that part of town, got the plumbing fittings i need to get any farther with this project, got back home, tried them out and guess what? they're too small!!!!!!!! i am going back there tomorrow to complain and return them. lowes is now in my axis of evil, pics when i finish the plumbing

[yungreefer2410]

plumbings done now i just need some flexible tubes so the water can get from the refuge back to the sump. pics tomorrow maybe. also i'm setting up a qt tomorrow and hopefully doing a leak test on the 55g

[yungreefer2410]
