plug return pump hole 130c?

[praisethesun]

Hello
Thanks for help
I've gotten a sump/refugium and would like to plug the return pump hole in the 130c. in doing this i would have less water siphon to sump. then i would use a return hang on U tube from back compartment. now if I buy the return pump upgrade kit for the rsm 130d i could get a plug that would fit but that's 80 bucks. experienced reefers do say buy extra pumps though lol. I know its a small hole i was thinking of a nylon nut and bolt or some kind of plumbing fitting but cant find anything. also thought loc-line maybe fitting onto the threads of the fitting. I know I'm wacking the all in one design but i just realsized in really wanted to work with a sump/refugium. picture of system for fun
thanks
Rob

There are quite a few members with RSM tanks running sumps with like LifeReef overflows

Not sure about the plugging but you have a really good setup there, even the refugium looks good

Thank you I do believe this RSM 130c has given me a lot of inspiration but i don't think I'm an all in one tank guy. red sea max costumer service is great they said they'd sent me a plug.

The RSM Club here on RS is full of mods, like sumps... and members that run their AIOs stock - as Paul B likes to say... it's a hobby and no wrong answer - all for fun or it would be called work or something like that Cool Red Sea sent you a plug !

your right I wouldn't have know what to do if it wasn't for the AIO RSM 130c it has everything you need and no worries about a flood is always good

Hello thanks for help in advance.
OK so red see max sent me a plug that would fit the 130 and 130d models but the 130c model return pump hole is approximately 1 inch about size of a quarter US money. So it didn't fit it was to small. This hole might be 22 mm I'm guessing. Would anybody know how I could seal/plug a 1 inch cut hole in glass?
