As I stated in my last post I was going to finish the plumbing over the Thanksgiving break. I finished today ahead of schedule. This will give me time to paint and add the trimming, cut the Styrofoam, create a cover for the fish tank, and add the air pump. The fish tank brings water to the trough by gravity through 1 1/2" pipe. The other side of the trough has an external pump attached that will bring water back to the fish tank. I began to fill the fish tank and half the trough before the sun went down. Tomorrow I will finish filling the tank, add the Styrofoam, and turn on the pump.
Back of the fish tank with a male 1-1/2" nipple attached to the bulkhead fitting and an elbow ready to go to the trough.
Beginning of the pump assembly. There is a 1-1/2" nipple attached to the bulkhead fitting and a 1-1/2" to 3/4" reducer to a 3/4" slip/slip ball valve.
The pump will be attached on both sides by fish-safe flexible tubing.
The finished pump assembly.
