OK, hooking up pump tomorrow eve on my new setup, so here goes the week long leak test with tap. I know that the drain side in the over flow boxes(DT) should not be glued in. Now, what about the return line tube that fits into the bulkhead? do i need to securely push it into the bulkhead and NOT glue it? it's a 1" line tube has two slip nozzles into the DT. Dual returns/dual corner boxes. What I'm getting at is my barracuda impeller will push 1800 gph, but with the sump/refugium room in the basement with pump, and other accessories I should be getting around 1200 gph, that's around 10 ft head pressure upstairs to DT. So if I do not bglue them in , when i fire the pump up with all valves wide open, will it blow out my 1" return tubes? and shoot water out the top of my DT? never fired a new setup before from this huge project? HELP please need info from past experiences. :huh:
