It is. I’m wondering if the original gasket that it came with that I cut is inside the hole causing the new gasket to take that shape. Wondering if I somehow cut that out if it would make a difference.
No problem. Yep but I would recommend one thicker wall material than multiple thin. You want to distribute the load around the bulkhead flange. No solvent welding. Just slip it in as a shim which is what this really is and then use the bulkhead gasket. Be careful not to cut the bulkhead gasket.
It appears so. I’ll take more pics tonight but it’s not protruding our at the lips like before after removing the other nut. I still have to tighten the nut since it’s only hand tight.
Yeah. That’s the inside wall shot from above. It’s the corner where the back of the tank meets the bottom and the wall.I assume that the other side is outside of your tank and that's not a weir wall in the picture. Sorry, skipped some posts but always up for a challenge with creative approach and learning something too.
Im sure

has been a huge help so far. Trying to solve this puzzle without having to cut and start over. I like the washer idea but don’t know how it’ll work when it’ll be a “c” shaped washer leaving less tension the on the open part of the “c” when pressed against the gasket.
No worries man. I don’t think you will have to cut it out. If you have them make a doughnut shape and then cut that in half it would form a full circle behind the bulkhead and fully support it. More of a backing plate type thing. Black scrap acrylic would disappear too. You could cut up a 1” bulkhead and do it yourself. Layers:Yeah. That’s the inside wall shot from above.

Might have to cut it all out and put a schedule 80 bulkhead here to make up for the gap due to my stupidity in grabbing the wrong hole saw bit and boring a 1 3/4” hole on a 3/4” gasket.
