Thanks for the reply! Asked the LFS this morning what to do and they came up with a good idea that I never thought of....dip the end of the flexible tubing n hot/boiling water to soften it up a bit, then try ti fit it over the bulkhead, and it worked! The 1" bulkhead posed a whole nother issue which was my fault....needed 1 1/4" tubing and I had 1"...got the 1 1/4", soaked it in hot water, and now I have a plumbed tank.....going to get the sump running tommorow evening. Wish me luck!
