how can I temporarily plug overflow holes

[Thizz]

doing a new build and want to completely rinse out my tank for a fresh start.

if I don't have any spare bulkheads on hand to cap off, what can i do to plug 3 holes in the overflow box? I've never tried it but would flex seal tape work or would the pressure make it release over a few days

simple slip or threaded (depending on bulkhead) pvc plugs will work.

I second some cheap bulkheads on amazon and pvc plugs.
You could get some fancy blow up things plumbers use to test systems, but bulkheads are probably cheaper

not sure where the pressure will be coming from, and therefore how much it needs to resist, but some rubber bungs work well for me when I want to temporarily close my overflow/return pipes.

they didn't work like I thought they would. had some leaks. I ended up getting some cheap bulkheads and getting these plugs. worked like a charm
