Hi All, I am having the hardest time finding a male thread 1 1/4 " to a 1" barb. and a 3/4 male thred to a 1/2 barb. Can anyone help me here or direct me to a online store? I really want my tank started but need these two adapters to connect from my bulheads. Thanxs

Stupid question from me here but.... Have you tried your local plumbing stores.. Not lowes or other stores like that, but one that specilizes in plumbing?

plumbing shops are limited to the type of fittings use on your tank
also I had a hard time finding bulk head fittings.
you can always use a close

on a female to a barb.
sprinkler supply shops have more of these http://www.**************.com/produc...edepotlive.com
sometimes you have no choice except to go on line, I AM A BIG
BELIVER IN BUYING IN YOUR LOCAL TOWN OR AREA.

I found these fittings at Home Depot.
Dark gray plastic hose fittings, not in the PVC pipe isle, but in the pump & hose fitting department.
1" Barb x 1" MNPT fitting is SKU# 190772
To go from the 1-1/4" Male to 1" Barb, you may have to get a 1" Barb x 1" MNPT fitting, then get a 1-1/4" MNPT x 1" FNPT, teflon tape and screw them together. Or you may find the actual fitting your looking for in that same area.

Also if anyone wants to see pictures of my tank let me know, It's and oceanic 75 RR (durso standpipe) with light oak cap and stand, with a lifereef CLF1 (compact berlin) connected to a lifereef custom refugium, CLF1 has the float switch too :) it's all nice and clean right now
