100gallon's 112 Gallon New Tank Build:)

[reefgeek]

green label with SCS1200 written in size 50-60 font, you can get it in some of the better stocked fish stores, I had to online order mine, which was faster than the wait time for a local shop to get it in.

Jack post in under tank.....6 foot five guys don't fit in crawl spaces very well. Lol! Floor was ok before but just in case I added a post. Time to get tank in position and get it wet! Such a long process.

I have water in the tank, all plumbing done, salinity is good...time to cycle. Anyone know how to stop a very slow leak on one bulkhead.? I don't know if I should tighten anymore!!

Try tightening it a bit more. Like 1/8 of a turn. That should do it.

Glad it's full and running. Been a long road. But it'll be well worth it!

Congrats!

Shoulda used silicone!

 

[EricTMah]

I've never used silicone on any bulkhead and have never had an issue.

Haha instead of debating, here's what i would do to stop a leaky bulkhead: loosen the ring, put a bead of silicone around the hole in tank, tighten up the ring, smooth out excess silicone that gets squeezed out with finger. Voila!

No leaks!! Phosphates are almost 0. Salinity is around 33-34 ppt. Ammonia is around 3ppm, and the cycling is beginning!

Not a debate. Just letting him know my experiences. I know people that will only use a bulkhead with silicone and they've never had a leak either. Just stating that you can have it without silicone and still no leaks. All good!

For the record. The 8th of a turn did the trick, no silicone.

Great progress

Thanks! Don't mind the cloudiness or lack of trim around the bottom! Haven't got around to replacing it from changing tanks!
