Hello,

I recently purchased a used Red Sea 450 and when moving, I broke the end off of the main overflow drain where it sticks through the bottom of the glass. I asked if they could be removed and the guy said they couldn't. That's fine, maybe he didn't know, and I should have looked. Stuff happens. My question is there a way to replace this or create a new one that will go through and seal still? Looks to be a combination of an oddball metric double threaded piece of pipe which I can already tell you I didn't see anything that would work at my Big Orange box store. Any suggestions on this would be very appreciated. I would be open to ordering a replacement from Red Sea but there's not a part number on the pipe and I'm not sure if they still sell parts for the 450.

I really think you need to post pictures of what you are trying to fix as if the hole is close enough in size to a bulkhead you can use that . If it is in a overflow box you likely may be able to make a bulkhead out of gasket/o-ring and male female fittings.
So please try to post photo so members can help you.

pics below. Probably would help lol. One pic is an example of the pipe that broke. I’m just not sure it’s the correct pipe and they have $50 for it and two weeks for shipping. If that is my only option, is what it is. If I can make something, I’m open to that too, just worried about leaks.
