ReefWeeds Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 So what did you do? miss a gasket or ? Not sure yet to be honest. They just didn't seal. I don't think I threaded them correctly Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Well, here's hopefully the last FTS of the 66. All of this is getting moved into the reefer. Things are a bit of a mess - I have slacked on glass scraping and stuff. Link to comment
Newstead Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hate to see the 66 go - it was such an inspiration to me, but looking forward to seeing what you do with 2 reefers! Twice the ideas to steal, uh, get inspired by. Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I had the same thing happen to me. I called it out many times on my thread and other reefer threads =P. Make sure you don't overtighten and make sure the gasket is not loose prior to screwing. I had to wait for Red Sea to send me a new gasket. Link to comment

Make sure you don't overtighten and make sure the gasket is not loose prior to screwing. I had to wait for Red Sea to send me a new gasket. Oh this is good to know! Yeah I was frustrated. I'm thinking I had the gasket aligned wrong maybe. I'm trying again later. Nothing to see ... I need to uodate it. Still looking for my Bert - have never ordered a fish online, but may have to!

ninjamyst Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Oh this is good to know! Yeah I was frustrated. I'm thinking I had the gasket aligned wrong maybe. I'm trying again later. I ended up breaking the gasket so that's where the leak came from. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 I ended up breaking the gasket so that's where the leak came from. Yuck. I think the gasket was loose and I may have misthreaded the pipes. I have them out and looked nothing looks broken. Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Damn nice setup Stella!! Pro tip, use Teflon tape on the bulkhead threads. Makes removal and adjustments much easier. Getting wet is always the best step!!! I'm a cunning linguist. Link to comment
