I've got a PROBLEM!

[Dj City]

I've got a problem.

I went to install my bulkheads on my 180g tank.
I noticed the hole on the drain is chipped on the INSIDE.
It's not a deep chip but...
The bulkhead leaked.

I did not tighten the crap out of it. Just hand tighten.
I added 1at of water to the weir and see a slow leak.

What can I do?

A descriptive title (“Bulkhead leaking around chip”) might help you get more people knowledgeable in plumbing. (I’m not, but best of luck!)

I might have to start another thread titled just what you suggested.

Wait for other people to reply. But as a last resort you might want to clean that area with some alcohol, put some silicone, and tighten the bulkhead. (As a last resort though) or you can see if you’re able to source some schedule 80 bulkheads and see if they seal better.
