Super small leak

I have a leak right where the PVC is glued to the bulkedhead on my C/L takes all night to make a 1in puddle. For my peeps that made it the meeting you know i can not just replace the bulkhead. What can i do to fix this?

Can you glob some silicon on it? I had to do this when I drilled my tank.

I sure can

See if you can cap that bulkhead from the inside of the aquarium, and drain the line of water. Then, flush it with fresh, and allow to dry. Once that is done, you could use either silicon, or PVC cement. Silicon will not adhere very well to PVC, so it may leak again.

Man it sounds like you had more troubles with that rebuild than it was worth

I know

Just keep in mind that every mistake you've made makes you a better reefer. It is priceless experience that you will one day be able to use for the benefit of other hobbyists, and yourself.
