Bulkhead leak

[IBMGeek]

well after months of work i was finally about to put water in the tank. I had the rocks setup how i liked them so i put some water in the tank before adding the sand. The bulkheads didnt leak(maybe added to little water), so i decided to add the sand,but when i started to put some water it started leaking so i had to break apart everything to take out the bulkheads. Anyone know of where to get quality bulkheads. The ones i have now i dont like because the nut is a little loose on the threads.

thank you

Make sure you roll some plumber puddy up in like a snake and pack it in between the bulkhead and the hole you cut. Then right before you put the nut on drop some 3 in 1 oil on the treads so you can get a good tight fit without putting added stress on plastic threads.

Hey where did you get your bad bulkheads, so not to go there?
