I will start a new tank with a Recirculating DIY skimmer and DIY LEDs. so i will post when i start that.

Ya i cracked one when i did my first build. i can happen i always tell people to get extras because of that.
I am still trying to find the right tank for my setup i am going to build. I am looking for a 300 gallon main tank with one 55 gallon hex for sea hourses, two 75 gallon tanks one for a refuge and the other a Live Rock Tank, and a 125 to 150 for a main sump and a 40 for gallon for the sea horse tank (kinda like a prefilter before it gets in the main sump.
that is the plan at least lol

Best way i have found to to take a petroleum jelly and out it on the threads and where the nut fits up against the tank... makes it to where you can tighten by hand very easily and it reduces the friction on the bulk head. Just dont use it on the rubber O ring because u want that dry when it gets installed for a proper seal...
So hows it going? Im guessing you had another leak and you cranked down on the bulk head and cracked it?
