Ok - In a rush and trying to make sure my bulkhead was waterwpoof, I overtightened it. I DID NOT crack the tank, I simply installed the wrong size bulkhead. Now I can't get the octagonal plastic nut off. Any suggestions?
I used the alternate bulkhead that comes with the Megaflow kit that is the same size as the larger hole in the bottom of the tank, but not at the top where it has to fit into the drain pipe base. I was working alone and was way too tired.
I am trying desparately to get this tank up and running, as I teach Zoology and would like to get my sponges and corals and other inverts transferred to the newer tank BEFORE we get to those units in about a week.
I have plenty of live rock and all of my water to help in the transition, so I shouldn't need a lot of cycle time, if any at all. I just need to get the tank operational. Will a pair of channel locks do the trick? Secondly, am I trying to make this happen too fast? My LFS said I could go directly from one tank to the other with all of the live rock and water I have.
