Well After my Trip to Home Depot The other weekend i finally got most of the PVC fitting's i need.

The First thing id like to say is purple primer is a bad idea,
Using purple primer on the Oak kitchen table is an even worse idea.
End result is a grand assortment of foul words erupting from your wifes mouth,



One of my next jobs will be refinishing the kitchen table

Anyways,
First up is a slightly redesighned Durso standpipe,
I stole a couple of other peoples Mods and put them together to suit my tank. I changed it to the hole on the back of the tank setup, and added the hose mod to the top (this apparently makes the noise reduction fool proof)



Second up is the first part of the return.
Getting pumped up the 1 1/4 line buy a Mag 9.5 then splitting and reducing
down to 3/4 pipe.



And here they are in postion




Unforunatly where my tank sits i can see a bit of the plumbing and that
ugly purple primer. A little of the leftover paint from the back of the tank.
Problem solved!



I made sure not to paint anywhere that will be over top of the water, and thats just the PVC glue you see in the holes.

Heres one last pic of the return with the last piece of PVC and the
Loc-Line pieces.




Well Thats it for now, Next up is my surface skimmer box for the drain.
