<> A couple of local guys tell me it should be OK, but I would sure like to hear your view. <> I’m trying to halve the leak potential, and plumbing hanging off the back of the tank, by going with a single bulkhead to feed the pumps. <> I’d also like to avoid 2″ bulkhead and pipe (it’s huge!) if I can.
