Rubbermaid 150g bulkhead

[djtuzik]

I just got a new rubbermaid stock tank. Instead of chaning the bulkdghead, I just want to use silicone on both sides of the plug and bulkhead. Will that be sufficient or I need to replace bulkhead and glue a plug inside?
thx!

I got a 100g rubbermaid stock tank. I didn't change the bulkhead. I uninstalled it, clean it thoroughly and made sure the surface is clean and smooth, then I used Teflon tape on the thread. Make sure to not over tighten.

I don't remember. A friend borrowed the stock tank to house his fish and rock temporary, so I don't have it at home right now. I have to add that I didn't connect anything to the bulkhead. I installed a plug in it.
