how do u stop a bulkhead

[bighitrider45]

so ive jsut decided I dont want to have a sump for various reasons so I was wondering if there was a way to plug up a bulkhead?

you can get a bulkhead cap and put it over the hole with silicone.

if threaded a threaded plug, if slip glue slip in place.

If this is inside the tank put a plug inside AND outside if possable. If threaded use silicone on the threads instead of plumbers tape as it seals very well. on a slip I agree to glue it in place again on both sides if possable.

hrmmmm not use a sump? What about using it for a closed loop?

Hey I just noticed you had a post that you were using an overflow and it was really loud.

check this out... build a durso.. seriously.. nothing else pop into Home depot and get the stuff...

Another tip is to drill a hole in the top cap of the durso and run vinyl tubing into it and down... and zip tie 7-8 foot of it... it'll be inaudible because the pitch is lowered so much.


We'll help you out man... no need not to use an overflow because it is loud. I learned quick how to fix this when the wife was angry at me because she couldn't hear the TV in the living room.
