HELP!!! Bulkhead leaking

[toomuch420]

I moved 90 gal to moms noticed it was dripping from bulkhead back into sump(no big deal)
I tried to tighten it & it started pissing everywhere!Bulk head will not loosen either as the threads are messed up!!!
Had to drain past overflow & leave tank with just a power head & air pump
I put air line in the wp40 for the night
I have to work at 5am.
Think thing will live till Tomm?
What should/can I do to get this bulkhead off without damaging tank?

Do you have an extra bulkhead?

Make sure there's flow in there.

I have an extra 1.5" & .75" bulkhead if that helps. You probably need to remove it and either replace the whole bulkhead or the gasket.

Hmmmm, somebody near by to help?

Oh it will loosen up...just need some elbow grease and a proper size wrench with a good grip. Happened to me once with a bulkhead on my sump.

I don't have bulkhead until Tomm.
After work hit up tongs (I guess)
I left wp40 on wave1
With a air hose attached to wp40

Worried about corals & fish!
Already look like crap from the move

Since you're most likely to be at work now and not able to see this. Anyway, wrap a rag around it, salt creep may seal it if it's only a drip. But sounds like you made it worse. Soo....

Just use a dremmel with a cutoff wheel to remove bulkhead nut. Just cut one side of nut and it will come off. I've done this plenty of times and works every time.

If u don't have a dremel, a sawzall will work as well. I've had to cut one off before too.

All good
I bought bulkhead & slip/barbed adapter
Glued them & then found pipe wrench I turned the wrong way and leak stopped.
Amazing what having the right tool does.
So got a glued 1.5" drain & adapter
F/s lol
