If it were me I would get a 2" bulkhead then reduce it to 1.5" outside the tank if that would work for your application.

I will check to see what I have for bulk head in my stock if I got one that would work. It is for the feed to the pump for my closed loop so going down to 1 1/2" at the pump would not be an issue.

No I thought I would try the durso standpipe on this tank. I am not going to glue the bottom of the stand pipe into the bulk head untill I test it to see how it works.

Well I do have a 45mm bit as well. If you are in town you can come a grab them both. Only thing is I'd like to have the 45 back since I might need it again. Even if you returned it in the next couple months that would be fine, I won't be using it anytime soon.

That would be sweet. I hope to be there for work next week if all goes to plan. Shoot me a pm with your contact info. I will get them drilled and back to you fairly quick.

nice work.. if you can try to pump the pump straight without that elbow. Puts strain on the pump.

great work!

Ya I have not glued the line from the pump to the tee so I can still change it. I was hoping to keep the pump in close & I know it would put strain on the pump. I will probably change that.
