Good Afternoon,
I currently have a Waterbox AIO 50.3, and am looking into upgrading to a Reef 180.5. Only problem is it needs the plumbing. I know that they use metric sizes, and there are ways to adapt to standard, however, the biggest question and concern is the bulkheads. Does anyone know how to procure the 3 bulkheads, as its not easy trying to find metric here in the states. and as far as plumbing and pipe size, what is recommended for overflow box side including return and nozzles, and under tank side? Any thoughts or help is appreciated.
 
Hey - did you upgrade to the 180.5 and get the plumbing issue worked out? I have the 180.5 and bought the threaded adapters from Coralvue because I went from the OEM plumbing to a remote sump. I think there are some details in my build thread (see signature).
