Plumbing a Ecotech L2 pump to a Reefer 900 3XL

[Yogi192]

I thought I could connect the return Y connector to the Ecotech L2 pump with barb fittings and flex tubing.
But the Y connector barb fitting is sitting below the barb fitting for the return pump.
The barbs are 1".
Any suggestions of what i can do? Is there a better solutions for this?

Shameless bump on this. Are bounties allowed on this site?

Hard to tell from the photo but how about shortening the Red Sea plumbing above and somehow raising the wye or just running a tee and re plumb or reconfigure return to fit the Red Sea stuff?

Going to run to Home Depot and see if a 1" pipe works. Maybe I can just hard plumb it.

I rather not try to modify the Red Sea pipes, since its brand new and still under warranty.

Good luck. It wasn’t that easy for my re-plumb on my 750. Red Sea, or coralvue, may have some adapters but I’m not sure on the 900. Saw one the other day. That overflow is huge!

I ended up with this weird loop to connect a flex hose to the L2 pump and the Y adapter.
Not sure this will hold up long term. It will have to do until I can think of something better. Thanks for responding guys.

I decided to hard plumb my 750

Could you run the pump on its side so there is only a 90 into it?
