I need to run a piece of 3/4 or 1 in pvc from my water storage barrel to my pump. Has anyone used the uniseals on Bulk Reef Supply or is it better to install a bulkhead? Just currious I don't want any leaks!

I have used Uniseals on actual tanks and they work great as long as you never have to move anything. Once mine were in they worked great for over a year. When I decided to build up my fish room and move tanks around everyone one leaked,but one.

It can be very hard to get a bulkhead to seal if it's on a curved surface like the side of a barrel, unless you have a barrel with a flat spot for that purpose or a very large diameter. Hope this helps.
