i was in the process of shutting down my sump/skimmer and went to plug up the bulkheads to my pumps, when i realized they are not 3/4" bulkheads, but 1" bulkheads. the new refugium i was going to replace it with had a 3/4" bulkhead, which is slip fitted, and not threaded. and the new union i assembled is meant for a threaded bulkhead, because i planned to reuse the bulkheads. i even went as far as to drill a 2nd hole to mount an additional pump to supply my hob refugium that was drilled to fit a 3/4" bulkhead. now i need 2~3/4" threaded bulkheads. anybody know of an all-night lfs open 24hrs?????
silly mistake..... i'm just gonna have to wait for one of the lfs to open and finish up the swap this afternoon.....
