Hi everyone I picked up a sump/refugium the other and decided to put it together. Its actually a cpr wet dry filter tru flow that was modified. I went to Home depot last night to join the two together since it didnt come with bulkheads. A 1" male adapter is too small and 1 1/4 is too big. Some guys help me out got me a something from the water heater, but im getting some leak on the top thread. Maybe I need to really get a bulkhead for it since I cant find the right fitting at home depot. Also my pump chamber drys up really fast. Any idea how should I configure it? Thanks
