The tank is part of a running system so we dont have time to wait for new bulkheads that may or may not fit. All of her livestock is presently sitting in stock trough with no filteration so time is ticking. We ended up re-using the origional bulkheads after a bit of soaking in vinegar. I also had to silicone around the bulkheads at the bottom of the tank to stop them from leaking. Leaking water had already done some pretty major damage to her stand which was topped with a kitchen counter top. The fiber board had soaked up a lot of water and was grossly expanded. We added a layer of styrophom under the tank to help compensant for the new uneven surface of the top.
