Tank hold water but now I got a question

 

[garyl]

I'm jumping in a little late (my usual methodology), but you might want to cover up the insulation over the tank with plastic or plywood.

Otherwise, it looks great!

Question is jebao dc-6000 good pump for a 210

I would go with a minimum of DC-10000 bigger return pump is better. The 6000 is too small IMO. I have the 10000 on my 90gal. I run it about 60% The tank sounds too loud any higher.

Need help a got water leak on the right side and don't know how to fix it

 

[Chris.sturgis]

The one on the left is it coming from the union connection or the slip fitting? The one on the right there is not much you can do once it is cemented in place. They do make drill attachments to ream out pvc fittings but it would probably be cheaper to get a new bulkhead. What were you using for pvc primer and cement? When cementing pvc you need to prime both connections and then make sure when you cement the two they are firmly seated and give it a 1/4 turn to make sure the cement has full coverage.
