I am just howling... Darn fish, glad you got him both times.

I have to admit the stupid fish is smarter than I thought!

I left the bottom plumbing hooked up he went through it unscathed it was a firefish he couldn't out swim the whirlpool

That would have worked for me as well. I was thinking that I glued the pipes into the bulkheads but that would just have been silly because where's the water going to leak, into the output line anyway. They were just press fit in and I could have easily twisted one of the stand pipes out. Hopefully I have this thing buttoned up enough now that I won't have to try your method next!
