But there is such a critter as goin over-board with it :shock:
I've never had any problems with my bulkheads.But I've always used a thin bead of silicone between them and the glass too.Just a little added insurance.
Good luck with em.

OK so everything is all fixed. order has been restored to my fish tank! and more importantly to my kitchen floor.
It starts by breaking out the hacksaw.
Goodbye Closed loop plumbing
Grab a new bulkhead and plug, clean the glass, add a dash of pvc glue
and here you have it!
pulled my second modded maxi jet out of retirement
removed all the pvc you see here
and voila
And then of course there is the obligatory pull off of a cold kona pipeline porter to reward my hard work.

I also took some shots of the tank to keep you all entertained.
Here is a before and after of my Monti. First picture was taken a year ago and then the new ones were taken yesterday. I am ery happy with the growth over a year.
Here is my brain, Its slowly slowly growing back, the one head that bridges the dead spot in the middle was not there when it got infected. so it moving in the right direction. just need to get rid of the algae to help provide growth space.
and more.
