Hi, I live in Hong Kong and have recently decided to replace my old freshwater tank (which used to be a marine FOWLR tank) with a new saltwater/reef tank which has an in tank overflow thingy (not sure the exact name, it is inside the tank and has two holes cut in the bottom of the tank for input/output).
Anyway, according to the guy in the shop they will provide the following "bulkhead" style connectors. Since they aren't the normal bulkheads I see on forums, I have a couple of questions:
My question is, for this sort of thing should I put a gasket on the water side and the dry side or just the water side? Also, should I add teflon tape to the thread and/or silicone near the thread/gasket(s)?
Option 1 or 2 (gaskets):
Thanks in advance. I'm kind of new to plumbing.
