Bulkhead Play

[Werbo]

Thanks guys. Guess what I found. My new bulkhead has a label....

"1 inch bulkhead requires a 1 3/4 inch hole."

Kevin - no I never found a 1 inch gate valve.

If a gate valve was readily available I'd use one but I am gonna try a 1 inch ball valve out of necessity. I've been 3 days sumpless now.

Tyler, J&L carries gate valves. Order one.

Your tank will be fine without a sump, just keep your powerheads going. I mean what are you really losing by not having a sump right now. Reactors and a skimmer, which people run tanks without all the time.

Keep up on your top ups, make sure to keep your salinity in check, do your plumbing and sump the right way the first time.
