Guys, I recently bought a 135 drilled for closed loop. The holes are drilled for 1.5" bulkheads.

Here's my problem, I need to reduce the bulkhead down to 3/4" so that I can use 3/4" locline. My problem is that I would really like it in black not white. I cant find a black one anywhere.

I need a 1 1/2" male thread to turn into a 3/4" female thread so I can screw in my locline. IT NEEDS TO BE BLACK, uness anyone knows of a reefsafe paint?

Any help would be deeply appreciated:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

pennilessreefer- Thanks man that looks like the one. :D

Dou you guys think it will cut down the flow too much?

I plan to use an external pump approx. 1000gph for a mixed reef as well as a 750gph return pump.

Assuming you are moving the water at 3ft/s you'll be going from 1000gph down to 240gph

Also, if you plan on orderin loc-line and you don't know about this place, check it out...much cheaper and they send a little 1/4" loc-line key chain with each oder.
