Bulkhead pipe leak

[Reef 421]

Hey guys. Im currently having issues with plumbing. Installed bulkeads and they hold water. Once water os over the bulkhead, When i push the pipe through theres water coming down the side of the pipe.Whats the best way to create a seal between pipe and bulkhead hole?

Pictures?

What kind of bulkhead; slip or threaded?

Are you sure it is leaking from where the PVC fits into the bulkhead? Every bulkhead comes with a rubber seal. The bulkhead goes through the hole from outside the tank. Inside the tank, you slip on the rubber seal and then apply the nut, hand tight + 1/4 turn only. Don't crank it down as you can strip the threads

Are you using a bulkhead fitting or a uniseal?
There are 2 types of bulkhead fittings.
Ones that have threads and ones that are slip fit and require pvc glue.
