Hey everyone, I got a quick question. I purchased a Fiji Cube overflow and it came with a " 1.5" " bulkhead. However, I just noticed it states 50mm on the site of it but when I went to to try some 1.5" regular pvc it fit snugged. However, my question would be is I have a reduce bushing I want to use to go from 1.5" to 1" for my overflow. I got the piece, but it is a tiny bit loose as the video below shows. Would I be able to still use it if I put extra pvc glue and silicone the outside for extra measure or should I just order 1.5" sxs bulkheads instead? Thanks!

 
Since it has little pressure if you use a lot of solvent (both pieces) and twist when puttting the pieces together I think you will be fine.
