uhuru Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I am setting up my new nano tank this weekend and was wondering if I should lubricate the bulkhead gaskets with silicone lubricant or not? This is for an acrylic tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I didnt on mine, its a glass tank though. If they are sticking or something just use water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for an acrylic tank. Nope, if anything - just a dip in water and that's it HTH, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I do lubricate all of my gaskets on my bulkheads with a product called Plumbers Grease. I buy it at Home Depot. I have been using it for the last 5 years or so and am happy with it. It's like $3. JME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
