IM 75 EXT gasket leak

[Bill116]

Hello. Wasn't sure where to post this. A slow day so decided to fill the aquarium and check for leaks. I have 2 of the 3 gaskets seeping water from the connections on the bottom. They are hand tight only. It is just a test as I am in no hurry to get set up as I have to travel quite a bit until the new year. Thanks for the assist and input. (I am taking photos to do a build thread once I get to a steady point.)

May be a stupid question but all the gaskets are on the flange side of the bulkheads?

 

[Bill116]

Yes they are.

Did you figure it out? Are the over/ under tightened? Seal in place? I found them to be the same quality as the Lifeguard bulkheads.

All was good. I did NOT have the lines from them to the sump properly aligned. IM was on it in less than 4 hours. Did my leak testing. As soon as I get done with some work travel over the next 3 weeks will start "making saltwater" and getting it set up.

yeah I find lining up the hard plumbing bulkhead to bulkhead is one of the hardest and most frustrating parts of plumbing a tank .
