so i noticed some (very small) leakage from my return bulkhead. flex seal is working great for now. but want to think of a more longterm solution. i also would like to change my return from softline(what the tank came with) to a hardline set up with proper unions this will make it much easier to support a new uv starilizer i want to add. but i have no idea how i could replace the bulkhead on a running tank? thoughts?

This tank has an overflow box, right?

If so, you just turn the return pump off, and siphon out several gallons from the display!

Then, pull your standpipe(s) in the overflow box to drain it, and you can access bulkhead(s) for gasket service!
