I have a 125g aqueon reef ready. The two 3/4 bulkheads are leaking . They are brand new bulkheads. (not the ones that come with the plumbing kit). The two 1 inch bulkheads are fine. Everything is hard plumbed already.
I was filling the aquarium for the first time all the way, and they started dumping a massive amount of water. I used channel locks to tighten it pretty good. It doesn't leak right now. I was thinking of getting silicone and putting it around the bottom for extra safety.
I thought about loosing them, and trying to dry fit it again, but I'm not sure if I messed up the bulkhead or gasket with how tight it is. I'm not sure exactly what I should do. I know you aren't supposed to over tighten, but that is only what made it stop leaking.
