Thank you for the advice, I will keep that in mind.. I will also be using BRS Reef Saver rock, from experience the pieces tend to hold quite well together so that shouldn't be a problem. Got a few things in today, time to put the return plumbing together as well as mount the apex and new reactor :)

Wow! Thank you for that information.. I will make sure to reinforce the middle. I was also contemplating adding the braided hose in on the return plumbing from the pump to the first elbow which would be approximately a foot and a half roughly.. then hard plumb the rest of the plumbing including...

Thanks for that info it puts me at ease, I too like the schedule 80 look as well, I just went and order all my schedule 80 PVC since none of the stores around me carried it in stock. Also went and ordered my Neptune Apex Controller and BRS Deluxe Reactors. Waiting until payday to order the...

Schedule 80 was cheap too, I ordered it on the internet. I just want to have the peace of mind that my plumbing will be ok running a MAG 9.5 through 3/4'' PVC.

Checked with Lowes and Home Depot, unfortunately they do not carry schedule 80 PVC in stock, just 40? They stated that this is something that they would have to order. I will keep looking but in the mean time I have been further critiquing my plumbing design both for looks and functionality...

Thanks guys great information, lol I am also thinking about using schedule 80 PVC for my tank, I chopped up a bunch of schedule 40 tonight and laid the foundation under my tank, switched a few things around in my design due to limited space that comes with the cube shape, but believe I have it...

Good idea! Will the 9.5 be too much pressure for the 3/4'' PVC return plumbing that came with my tank? This has got me thinking, I don't want my PVC to explode due to too much pressure.. Should I just return it and buy a MAG 5 or 7 instead? Will the 5 or 7 be enough to run say 2 reactors?

I will make sure I throw in a ball valve on my return line to tune it down, I will also be running 2-3 reactors off of the return line and MAG 9.5 as well.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion I do intend to use a ball valve to control flow, as well as run my reactors off of the 9.5, That should help me out a little bit, thanks! Here are a few more pictures of the tank, stand and new Trigger Systems Ruby sump! I'm extremely happy with this...
