In the plumbing, in the bulkheads…. I bought and apply waterseal and it finally worked. When i corrected i knew what i did wrong!!! Begginer mistake!!! I put the seal that comes with the bulkhead on the outside of the glass!!!! And it should be on the inside. I really dont know how it happened.

What kind of water seal? What if any pipe putty did you use?

I used Flexseal. First in aerosol and didnt work. And second the flexseal paste, that comes like a silicone.

Well that’s good you were able to get it sorted. There’s always something that goes funky, but it’s always a breath of fresh air when it’s easily corrected.

great job on this tank.

Thanks. I didn’t know you could use flex seal on aquariums. I have a 720 plywood that i am letting the silicone on the glass set for a week to cure out. Next week I hope to start water testing it.
