GREAT NEWS!! My return 3/4" bulkheads don't fit! I think I got the "heavy Duty" size. Now I have to run to Hill Country Water Gardens in the am and get ones that do.
Question: I hear of ppl snapping the nut of the bulkhead overtightening, I assume they are just gut-n-tight, by hand I mean?
Yeah I about got it now (the tear down that is), there is nothing but sand in the 180. Funny thing is, the one fish I hated and "wanted-dead or alive", one I've tried netting, spearing, and trapping to no avail, the one that made me swear if I EVER caught it I would throw it as far into the field behind me as I could, ....................................is GONE!! That freakin Hawkfish has pulled a houdini on me, he is NOT in my tank, I did NOT transfer him to the pool, no sight of it on the floor, I saw it just minutes before catching the next to the last fish, and he vanishes! Well I hope he was tucked into the HUGE piece of Holey Rock I trew out in the yard. Fireants LOVE fish!!:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
Needed a break
Sorry no pics, no time! Later, Thanks!

Rob,
Congrats on the tank!
WATCH your bulkhead nuts - these aren't holding anything under pressure. Hand tighten, and if they still leak, tweak them slightly until they quit. It's easy to strip them out or bust a nut. Can do that LIFTING the beast too...
