Hoping for a quick reply.. There is a small divot on my Fiji Cube bulkhead which I think is the source of my salt creep I have been seeing.

The thing that bothers me is the bulkhead doesnt seem to be a standard slip-slip as it has an edge for the shadow overflow portion to push against. Can I use a standard 1" bulkhead from BRS or do I need to contact Fiji Cube for replacement? I didn't notice this on install so not sure when it happened but its a minor leak. Anything I can do for tonight to help it seal better or just wrap with towels?

I have the same bulkhead for my fiji 36 sump. I didn't use them but they are just like any other bulkhead. That notch stops the pvc pipe to move beyond a certain point during gluing. You can use any bulkhead instead of it.

I do want to confirm. I placed my gasket on the inside glass and the inside of the overflow box and was getting leaking. After reading this, I switched it to inside of glass and outside of glass between the overflow box. I now have zero leaking.

Thanks for the comments.
