Blane, I discovered that pipe thread taps are pretty big and the right size handle is hard to find; however, since they are tapered and the pvc cuts easy, I was able to use the tap successfully with a crescent wrench.
The JG fittings are great!!!
As I stated in another post, I would highly recommend tapping into the pvc rather than slipping the pipe through a drilled hole. Even though I used a coupling to add stability, it is definitely the weakest spot and I broke the seal when I put the hose on.
Got that fixed and filled it last night and set the mixing timer. Should be ready to start dripping tonight.
I'm using an Eheim 1048 as a mixing pump. Kind of pricey, but I really don't like the idea of using a maxijet externally. I expect the Eheim to last a very long time and to never leak.
