    Disaster !!

    Agree.....I'd double check hole size before ordering Schedule 80 bulkheads....entirely different size holes required...... emailed supplier and they recomended 3/4 abs

    Removed the silicone and bulkheads the holes look good, 1 1/4 " they were very light weight and there was no rubber gasket ( silicone) . Ordered schedule 80s to replace them

    Disaster !!

    My thoughts are the same as Cory's.... No reason to use silicone and rather sloppy IMO.... Are they regular bulkheads?? Worse case I'd pull the bulkheads and remove the silicone and use my own bulkheads!!They seem very light weight plastic as if there would not be a seal without the silicone.

    Disaster !!

    @2quills yes it has a center brace and it was on the stand it came with. Ive researched online and found that I'm not the only one this has happened to. @flower I'm hoping they give me options . The only thing i don't think is going to make it is my Xenia.
