I found with thou Uniseals they are not good, I had them on my kalk reactor and they leaked like crazy as soon as you put any pressure on them. IE turning on the pump to mix up the kalk.

That mod kit that ASM uses will most likely leak, seems to be for in-sump use only. I wonder what Euroreef uses for there recir externals? If it is the same uniseal, then I would suspect that some sort of adhesive is applied as well to seal it from leaking. What do you think?

Yes, you need a bulkhead, not a uniseal.

Check the RC thread on RDSBs for a link to curved bulkheads.

We have an external Euro as you know Will. Are there any simple (really simple) questions I could answer?

Wrong link perhaps. There's nothing about converting to recirculate in that thread. Please try again.
