My frag tank (plumbed into the main system) has plumbing that is completely unreachable without removing ALL plumbing, draining the tank, moving the tank out of its corner, replacing the bulkhead, and then finally redoing all the plumbing.
One of the overflow bulkheads (#3: emergency) has a very subtle leak. I was able to twist myself into a pretzel in order to finger tighten it, and that took care of the problem but not 100% (more like 90%) and I'm considering just super-gluing it to the acrylic tank. (in the overflow once its dry)
From what I understand, the only reason not to glue bulkheads is because removing them in the future become a MAJOR, if not impossible, chore. At this point, I'm okay with trashing the tank when I eventually break the system down... but I'm wondering if there are other pitfalls that I'm not thinking about that could eventually bite me in the butt?
Thoughts?
