Do you dry fit or use pvc cement on the overflow pipes going to the bulkheads attached to your sump?

Threaded to glued to dry. I use it all
I use a very small amount of silicone on the bulkhead washer. Make sure it is very thin, even and covers all of the rubber washer. I then put the silicone side against the glass and press the bulhead on it to get a good seal. Leave the bulkhead, but do not tighten the nut yet, and let dry for at least 24 hrs. You can remove the bulkhead and the washer is sealed against the glass.I had mine just dry fit into the sump bulkhead, but got some salt creep around the joint. I just took the pipe out, added some silicone and put back in. Solved the salt creep, and can be removed later on if needed.
Nice sump, which one did you get?
