Re: Goodman's 150g

Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt a pipes 'schedule' relate to its wall thickness and also its pressure rating? Not wether its threaded or not?

Yes, it refers to it's wall thickness. However, most schedule 40 pipe seen in hardwares stores is comprised of nipples (short pieces of pipe) that are threaded and used to plumb up systems that have ball/gate valves, check valves, switches, pressure gauges, sediment traps and other assorted things that may need replacement or maintenance so therefore are put together with threaded pipe, to prevent the need for a large number of unions or cthe need to cut the assemblies apart. Most hardware stores do not even stock full 10 foot lengths of schedule 40 PVC pipe.

Re: Goodman's 150g

Luckily one of my clients is a construction company! Called them up and they had some extra pipe that would work better for me.

Also, tonight I had to rip one of the bulkheads out because it was leaking and it gave me one hell of a time.

I just need to find more rock at a good price and im good to go! Oh, and replace the bulkhead.

Re: Goodman's 150g

So after replacing one of my bulkheads and getting my skimmer all set up the tank was finally ready for its first addition!

Shes so pretty, I love her! I also took out the bioballs and put some extra rock I had in the sump, seems like everything is working pretty well. Thats all for now.

Re: Goodman's 150g

About 11-11.5 inches. A decent amount smaller then yours. The guy i bought her from had an awesome looking golden puffer as well.
