    The overflow is not a box, it is a drilled tank. I bought the tank used and the previous owner epoxied the green tubing to the bulkhead. I CANNOT remove the epoxy or green tubing as I stated before.

    I feel like seminole and reefplayground are the only ones who actually read any of my posts. I know you guys are trying to help, but suggesting things that I cannot change will not help me.

    Seminole- I might try that for the short term

    Reefplayground- I could probably get a larger T connector, but the guy had a 1" connector in before, so thats what I tried to match. Any thoughts on how to size up the proper connector?

    Thanks. I appreciate the suggestions, it is just frustrating when you are trying to find a solution to a problem you didn't create... I really wish I would have seen the epoxied bulkhead before I bought the tank from the guy.

    The good news is that it isn't the bulkhead that's leaking. I think I am going to grab a larger T at Lowes tomorrow and try that.
