Setting up first saltwater mixing station

[Fringe09]

Hi guys. Setting up my first saltwater mixing station. Two 55 gallon barrels sitting next to each other with a pump in between. Need help determining two parts that I need. Hope the links work.

1. Which bulkhead do I need to buy? BRS sells two types.

A. Bulkhead Schedule 80 Slip x Thread (Slip on the Flange/Head side) - http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/bulkh...-side-1-3c30bc3ec05967d33995f258b184fabb.html​

B. Bulkhead Schedule 80 Thread x Thread - http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/bulkh...hread-1-6fc3d5c19d1dce101093e77b0bb4a365.html​

2. Does anything have to go between the bulkhead and the pipe?

Schedule 80 Male Pipe Adapter? - http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/schedule-80-male-pipe-adapter-1-3a6c2c9231df58107434b942fa600b22.html​

You say "barrels" are these round? If so then a bulkhead will not work as they are designed for a flat surface.

Uniseals are what you want for a round surface.

Uniseals At BRS

If you scroll down they have a nice video on how to install, and use them.

Dito, you need Uniseals
