It’s been a while since I replaced them - still have the tubs under the deck somewhere lol. If memory serves, I just used the pretty standard sch40 from BRS. Seem to recall them fitting snugly. I also siliconed them in, so no chance of a leak.
I replaced mine last year with a new Rubbermaid one I got at Tractor Supply. I did not see a regular bulkhead that would fit in the hole.
They hole was the wrong size and the way it is molded there is a step in the bottom where it is. The Rubbermaid one is square to accommodate this.Why is that? Is the hole a circle?
Also did you replace it because it was leaking?
No bulk heads at HD here. I bought a 100g stock tank several months ago and used it as a hospital tank for 3 months with no bulk head leaksBump…
interested to buy one for a temp tank during a move… don’t want to end up with water all over the floor.
also is it common for something homedepot to have bulkheads?
So I’m thinking between 100-150 as I currently have a 65 gallon display and prob 20 gallons in my sump.. no fish just coral / inverts lots of live rock.I'd order the bulkheads from elsewhere. Home Depot doesn't have em. Which size stock tank are you considering?
1" schedule 80 bulkheads fit both the 100 and 150. I wouldn't recommend using the bulkhead that comes with the totes even with silicone. $20 to know it's never going to leak is a good deal imo.So I’m thinking between 100-150 as I currently have a 65 gallon display and prob 20 gallons in my sump.. no fish just coral / inverts lots of live rock.
In process of moving and deciding to take down tank few days before in really temp housing ( black totes from homedepot) but thinking more long term with one of these things @ the new place to give me time to get everything figured out.
I also found out about uniseals but unsure delivery time / whatnot will work out.
All fish stuff is packed so just winging it now…
I did read someone put sealent or something on the bulkhead threads and that helped… but also hear it doesn’t leak!!
