Most are engineered to be oriented in a certain aspect. You want to mount the pump in this orientation... Perhaps not on the same plane/level as the sump/tank it is servicing... in the event of a flood.

2) You want to make a solid junction between the lines going to/from the pump and the plumbing they attach to... but it is very likely you will want to provide an "intermediate" junction... best of stronger/thicker PVC, nominally Schedule 80 (that heavy gray stuff). For FIP (female) fittings the material of choice are Sch 80 risers or nipples... that have male to male threads that can be threaded into the pump volute (the part covering the impellers with the fi

1) For most applications, using tubing of greater diameter than the volute fittings on your pump/s (intake and discharge) is not beneficial. You wont get

A Whisper Air pump powers the airstones. The Skilter cartridges are changed every other week and the airstones every other month.

Each tank also has a mechanical filter backup. There is a Marineland Penguin 160 on one, and a Millennium 2000 on the other. Cartridges on both of these are changed weekly.

Water, and a Lot More: Tom uses tap water to make up his synthetic seawater! He tried one of the in-line water purifiers but found there was no noticeable difference whether or not he used it or not, so he

What Im hinting at is simply transplanting the beneficial microbes from an established system to the new one. In actual practice, some of a stabilized, pollutant and parasite free sources gravel, rock, filter media is carefully placed in a sterile new-one of close temperature, specific gravity and pH. Voila!
