Does anyone know where can i get this drain plumbing parts fitting for my skimmer cup?
I'm planning to drill and add a draining hose to my skimmer cup, unfortunately this is the reef octopus 110 and side drilling is my only option. I can't add uniseal because the smallest size of uniseal is 1/2" and its too big for my skimmer cup.
I'm looking for somethings like 3/8? or 1/4 if possible.

Have you tried BRS or CoralVue? That's where I'd start.
 
Seems like I answered this once a few days ago....is this a duplicate question or did I never hit "Post"?? :D

Jehmco has lots of oddball stuff. I'd try them.
 
Those kind of fittings can be had at big box hardware stores in the plumbing isles. 1/4" or 3/8" should work. Drilling the bottom flange on the cup should be doable, but depending on its width.
