Default Reef safe plastic glue

I finally found the 50 gal tub I was looking for to make large batches of salt water and still fit under my tank stand. The only problem is that there are four 1/2 cm holes in the bottom for some wheels. I tried to fill the holes with silicone but I couldn't get a water tight seal. Anybody have a suggestion on what else I could try?

Thanks,

Ed

Make the holes bigger and use some cheap bulkheads and use fittings to seal them

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it won't work. The holes are right on the corner as well as a ridge around the bottom. There isn't room for a bulkhead and gasket.

Will I find this at a LFS, or elsewhere?

Thanks,
