Looks great. Good job!

Gaskets go on the inside with the bulkheads put in from the inside as well with the nut on the outside of the tank.

I have only siliconed one, just because I felt like it to see if there was any difference. Only difference was that it made a mess when I tightened down the bulkhead lol. Not needed.

I have never used a wrench. Hand tight has always been good enough. Too tight and you will crack the bulkhead which will go unseen until you fill with water. Or worse, the glass :/

Still has to be extremely tight, I guess depending on your hand strength, you may want to use a wrench, but be careful to make it tight and not over tight.

I use silicone just for peace of mind. Just smooth with finger after tightening bulkhead for clean look.

I am glad! Measuring perfect fit inside the tank was tricky. ..even more so that there is the centre brace.

At least you know its reef-safe.

Most aquarium builders use GE SCS1200. You should be able to get it @ $12 a tube also.

Is it the stuff with the green label?
