Silcone & Bulkheads?

[Rborgia]

What do you all think?

Is putting Silicone around the bulkhead on the inside of the tank a wise idea?

I'm thining I should do it, but want to make sure I'm not going to cause any problems first.

Thanks

You don't really need to silicone it around, if you install bulk head properly.

you shouldn't need silicone to get a proper seal, just the gasket that came w/ the bulkhead

I did not use any silicone, it's not necessary.

the bulkhead gasket makes a tight seal.
I always use schedule 80 bulkheads it's the one place not to skimp on quality!

Ok, thanks for the info all...

I will pass on using Silicone on the BH.
