90 AGA Reef Ready bulkheads - what size?

ReefHog · 03-22-2004, 12:51 AM

I'm finally moving my reef from the standard tank it's been in (for over 5 years) to a new 90 gal. AGA Reef Ready. Does anyone what size bulkheads I would use? It looks like they are 1" to sump & 3/4" return but i'm not sure. I get confused because I know the holes are larger than the pipe size the bulkhead will be. BTW, I will be using a Durso 1" threaded standpipe.

Thanks

That is correct but the 3/4" one needs to be the mini version (they make 2 kinds)

HTH,

You need to use a 1.25" Durso for that tank. The Durso standpipe diameter should be slightly larger than the size of the drain bulkhead and the standpipe itself doesn't have to be threaded: http://www.rl180reef.com/frames.htm

They can be purchased on-line at Custom Aquatic.

Thanks guys,

The Durso fit's a 1" opening but reduces up to 1&1/4" to fit my tank. I ordered it from his website.
