Aquarium PLUMBING Set-Up - Newbie Tank Build

In this episode of our series, Newbie Tank Build, Jimmy will take us under his tank as he begins setting up the plumbing! Join us as we watch this trial-and-error process, find out what we might have forgotten when connecting the return pump, and learn how Jimmy's wife has thrown down the gauntlet on the speed of this tank build.

Don’t want to use metal clamps on the sump flex hose as it can rust.

[@wi11iams52]

Agreed.

@@Saltwateraquariumdotcom this is how I killed my first tank and called it quits for awhile cause I couldn’t figure out why my live stock died.

[@antonep4721]

Hes got mr salt water he be ok he sounds just like me im in the middile of learning so much with ad hd my anxity is bad

[@michaelbaldwin3356]

I would replace those metal clamp with plastic ratchet clamps. The bands are stainless steel but the screws are not, they will rust.

[@gordonellisjr331]

Plumbers crack to go along with the plumbing video. LOL

[@zachary_smith1]

I’ll be plumbing mine today. Mine is same just the size one smaller. Love watching this. (It was so damned heavy and hard to move upstairs)

[@flech3025]

I really like the longer format of the videos in this series.

[@somdreef]

Love this series! Great job 👏

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

Yay! Thank you!

[@hdemetri]

I have mine coming this week. It is the same the same tank except it is the Peninsula style and will be between kitchen and living room. This really helps me prepare for what's to come since it is my first saltwater tank.

[@ou812reefing]

Great build so far

[@killerwease1]

The big circular hole on the sump lid is for a refugium light to shine through

[@user-dr4je8ct7i]

Love this series been wanting to start an aquarium for a while after watching these episodes I have ordered one to start

[@mrsupersym]

for some people, the joy of this hobby is when they are setting up a brand new tank rather than dealing with all kind of biological matter later on: nuisance algae, fish get sick, coral dying....

[@wi11iams52]

I have this same tank but in black arrived Oct 20, I love it!!!! Pro Clear has an awesome system but your unions seems to be a tad different then what was provided with mine. Also there should have been some plastic hose clamps included to use with the provided rubber hose, therefore you will not risk having metal in your sump. P.S. ask Mr Saltwater about plumbing in a UV sterilizer for a system of that size. I did!!!

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

Plastic Gator clamps are on the way - www.saltwateraquarium.com/search.php?search_query=snapper&section=product

[@IslandReefTV]

Please Remove that metal clamp, it will rust and cause problems later.

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

The metal clamps came with the tank. We will talk about this topic in an upcoming episode.

[@gabemihu7638]

@@Saltwateraquariumdotcom If the metal clamps are marine grade stainless steel, they will be fine. In general, common stainless steel is not marine grade, it will rust. To get technical, if they are 316 stainless, they would be ok; if they are 304 or other grade, they will not.

[@anthonyhernandez7582]

These videos are fun to watch and funny! : )

[@MondoMiami]

Wow, the Metal Clamp Police are out in full force!

[@kckc1801]

Where is the next episode?!

[@michaelross5674]

I would use plastic clamps

[@mathewstreet]

Does the pump come with that hose?

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

The metal clamps came with the tank. We will talk about this topic in an upcoming episode.

[@nickcarnevalino7462]

im watching this Halloween weekend and i highly doubt you will have anything in it by christmass - tank cycling takes a bit of time.

[@alexpellman8637]

How much were the lights from lowes?

[@christopherteer3462]

I have the pro clear 60 and you will want to do away with that ato. I fill mine daily. Also have a 90g setup with apex ato on a 10g ro tank it last over a week, just a tip

[@wi11iams52]

On my 200 it is a measley 3 gallon ATO. I use a 5 gal jug to top of that 3gal ATO. Total of 8 gallon with my current redundancy. Only swapping out my 5 gal jug.

[@jril3982]

Yo, Mark. Metal hose clamps? Really?

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

The metal clamps came with the tank. We will talk about this topic in an upcoming episode.

[@kckc1801]

Where’s the next video. Waiting…

[@Sammy31Dee]

Oh nice didn't expect you to actually head out for them lights.... they're great overall 👍 I'd probably still opt for a few screws in the light end mounts for added safety.... the excess wire I zip tied in between and used these around my entire system for wires....probe lines etc....also can be bought at lowes

[@fletcherwright7042]

Remove the metal hose clamp not good

[@davidking0519]

Ditch the metal hose clamps. That's a flood waiting to happen.
