    Anyone know where I can get a bulkhead in Cape Town? I drilled a 50mm hole in my sump (yay) on the side to serve as an overflow. Do they have a different name and are jojo tank connectors the same thing?

    they might but if you are anything like me, I treat it like lego - guestimate sizes and see what fits, return what doesnt. A local place would be better.
    I asked for 50mm and got 50mm internal diameter so it didnt fit inside my 50mm hole etc. Luckily Sams is just around the corner and happily replaced with the correct sizes.
