    Uniseals are great for curved surfaces.

    I'm contemplating adding drain valves for cleaning using their tee eliminators-

    I should have done that in the first place...

    Good tip John and Liz, great timing too, I've been looking into water barrels and what my options are. Thanks!

    Aquatic-ECO is an awesome store... it appears everyone already knew that. It's too bad I don't have something like it nearby (that I know of) because there's so many thing I want to try, but I can't buy it all at once, but I'll go broke by shipping if buying it in pieces

    Can't wait until I get back to Florida.

    I have three 55 gallon barrels connected using uniseals. The uniseals work better than a standard bulkhead on a curved surface like the side of a barrel. I get mine from bulk reef supply.
