Need help bulkhead cylinder aquarium

I couldn't get mine to seal on a 32 gallon brute trash can, but most people have good luck. If they work, they work. There is a maximum raduis and thickness that they will work on though. May try some silicone whatever you do, but but I have no experience fwiw. You might try calling bulk reef supply in case they have some suggestions.
 
Was that a regular bulkhead? maybe just need thicker O-rings accommodate the curve.

Sorry, I meant to say that I had issues with the uniseal. I eventually got a regular bulk head and that worked. However I think it was due to the flexible nature of the brute trash can that was my issue. People with more rigid containers use them all the time, that is my understanding. I think they're meant for this exact situation, but I but I'd Google it widely for someone with your exact set up before committing to it. For my brute trash cans, I just cranked the regular bulkhead down until it wasn't a curve anymore :)
