Fittings/hoses for Mag-Drive 7

Yeah, because I never got around to installing them. I think it is the best option if you
plan to do any maintenance on your setup. I've not done any, and it has been running 9
months non-stop! But if you had a ballvalve on the input and output sides (3 in all), you
could close them all, and remove the SCWD and Mag drive for cleaning.

Marc;

You mention ballvalves in your setup process but I don't see them in the picture?

Here's a page of how I put together a closed loop with a Mag 5 and
a SCWD:

Hello;

I'm about to set up my first sump ... going on a 55 gal tank using a
Rainbow LifeReef slimline overflow box, with output probably to a SCWD
switching device.

I have a MagDrive 7 pump. This pump has a 1/2" FPT inlet and a 1/2"
MPT outlet. What fittings and hoses should I use?

3/4" hose pushed over outlet?

1/2" MPT x 1/2" barb on inlet? or 3/4" barb?

Thanks ... I'm a total newbie to aquarium plumbing!
