I have a spare from my old 90 somewhere in my "extra parts bin". I remember it costing a small fortune so hopefully it is the better quality one, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was the cheapo.

if some one cracks a bulkhead that is not the fault of the bulkhead, but rather the instalation. you either tightened it way way to much , in which case your lucky the glass didn't break or you tried to force plumbing which placed a strain on the bulkhead, and again your lucky the glass didn't break.

take a look at the PSI rating for Sched 40 and let me know if you have anything on your fishtank that even comes close to 1/4 of its rating.

Sched 80 is a waist of money and is bulky , cumbersome and ugly, I used sched 80 on my old tank and never will use them again if only for the physical size of area clear they need to be able to tighten them.
