Please help find plumbing part

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

krylon fusion paint, but downsizing the plumbing that much is gonna kill the flow on your CL.

You may need to use two reducers.
In any case I would not worry much about it being white, it will be covered with coralline very quickly.

I agree. You'll probably have to use two reducers.. And you can sharpie them and also Krylon Fusion is reefsafe.

Well I was directed to this part on another thread that looks like a diredt match so I wont need to use two reducers

mcmaster part # 46885K265

Do you guys think it will restrict the flow too much. I plan to use a external pump approx. 1000gph with a 750gph return pump. It will be a mixed reef. What do you think?
