Attached see pic/ diagram of what I want to do

I am wondering where I can get reef safe valves ?

Are normal valves that we see at the Hardware store OK ?

what about piping

do I have to use any sealants or screwons are OK if yes to sealants what kind ?




Any other important info would be appreciated

bertmcg,
You can get nylon ball valves at Home Depot pretty cheap and they are reef safe.
I already see CPVC in the tank, it's safe to use, you can also get fittings that are threaded, makes life easier.
If you do glue pieces together, give them adequate time to cure, preferably longer than 24 hours. 2 days is best.
