Hi all,

I did some plumbing yesterday and for some reason the bulkhead in my 75 gal rubbermaid stock tank has decided to leak. I had drained it to move it and of course I noticed it leaking after it was full again.

It is a small drip so that was fortunate I guess. Are there any quick fixes that anyone knows? It is leaking around the bulkhead somehow. I have a threaded fitting going into the bulkhead and it is not leaking there but on the tank part. Hard to describe ...

I think I know the answer but wanted to share :(
 
Drained it and cleaned the gaskets. Seems to be holding now. I will silicone it while it is dry too :)
 
I was trying to do it without draining the sump again. I figured it would not be possible.
