I bought one of these units for a 75 gallon that I'm building. Did my first test fill tonight and discovered that the bulkheads from the tank to the overflow are leaking. No big deal I thought. I was exceedingly wrong. This is for an Aqueon 75 and it has a rim across the top. Being "smart" I mounted it so that the internal overflow is at the rim. This will keep the water level barely visible from the sides. It was a nightmare getting it together. Now it's come time to get it apart. The problem is there isn't enough room to get my hands (or any tool I own) into the tank side overflow box to hold the bulkhead while I undo it. One of them was no problem but this one seems impossible. There is about 1/2" from the rim of the tank to the edge of the box.
Unless someone has some advice on getting this thing off, I'm going to have to cut the acrylic (risking breaking the tank) to get it off and then order something better - that has more room internally for a hand. So if you have a suggestion please let me know, I'm all ears
SOLVED: My last post has details, but it took two people, three wrenches, and a bloody knuckle to get it. Thanks everyone!
