After a good nights sleep I figured out a way to still use the sump and all the stuff that goes with it...
Because of where the other half siliconed the bulkheads, they are garbage. I'll have to cut them out, pull off all the silicone, and buy two new bulkheads. The rest of the plumbing is still good, just the bulkheads themselves need to be replaced.
Who knew getting water into a tank would be so hard....
