Ok so I got 1" bulkheads so I got the bushing to slip inside but it reduces it down to 3/4 now I have to get another fitting to go back up to 1". How much reduction in the flow is this going to be.
This is getting to be a real pain the the F@#$%&*g A%$

Why the bushing?

I used both slip-fit and threaded (inside) bulkheads.

For the 2" slip-fit bulkheads, didn't use any bushings, just glued 2" pipe directly into bulkhead.

As for the threaded 1" bulkheads, used 1" TA (threaded to slip adapter) screwed that into the bulkhead then glued 1" pipe into the TA (again no bushing).

fyi: the 1" bulkhead, tank was drilled 1.75"

Whew finally did it

when I finally sat down and looked at it and played around I had more than enough peices to do ....and it was fairly easy just needed some time to stare at it

Nice, I'm glad the bulkhead did not defeat you, I was getting a bit worried we might have to take your reef away from you.

Know what you mean. The thought of all the different ways to layout, then the idea of actually cutting and gluing, my tank sat on the pallet longer than it should have. Once I finally got started, found out plumbing's really not that bad but the relief I felt once it was done...
