The other alternative is to use the 3/4″ as a downspout to a separate smaller pump and set up a close loop with an extra Mag 7 I have and leave the flow to the sump alone. In that case I would connect the smaller pump to a 1/2 sea swirl and the sump return to a 3/4. Of course the final option would be to drain the main tank and then take male and female brushings and create a 1 inch “bulkhead” which would fit in the pre drilled hole. However, I worry that this would not be a sound construction. (I have looked for larger bulkheads that would fit in the pre-drilled hole, but can’t find any, the hole is just too small). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
