Small Sump Connection Leak HELP - PIC

Unfortunately, I was unable to test the seal last night. I did snap some quick photos though:

I'll try to re-doing it tonight and see if I can get it fixed.

Always use teglon tape on threaded connections, 2-3 good wraps will be sufficient as overdoing it can be bad and cause leaks.

We were just talking about you. You've never really done any plumbing, have you.

LEAK FIXED!

Thank you all so much!

I cut two new gaskets and used a TON of the Teflon tape (6 wraps) and didn't cinch down too tight on the seal. I filled it with water and ran it for about 6 hours last night and had no problems. I'm going to run it all day tomorrow and monitor it for leaks but I think we're in the clear!

More pics:

I even ran the chiller and UV sterilizer last night with no problems.

Now I just need to get some timers, mount them up off the ground and start cycling!

Awsome.
