Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi everyone,
So my latest project has led me to purchase a used 180gal tank (72"x24"x24"). I will make this into a freshwater tank for Silver Arowanas. The previous owner had a weird overflow setup going so there are 6 holes drilled into the bottom of the aquarium of various sizes and in various places. I will not be using these holes in any capacity. The old bulkhead fittings that were used are worn will need to be taken apart using a saw as they are in pretty bad shape. Afterwards I will need to plug up these holes somehow. Any idea how or where I can get similar bulkhead fittings that I can use to cap these holes? I am hoping something like the threaded bulkheads but instead of having an opening in the top piece it would just be flat that I can use silicone sealant to close it permanently. Any ideas or tips would be much appreciated, thanks!
