Evening Guys
I have a new sump to fit to my newly installed tank (central bracket is a terrible design compared to the original bit I won’t go there now!).
I have the standard rubber seal and I have read lots of threads on here but there doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? My plan is to use the rubber seal and a little PTFE on the sump threads and not overtighten the sump, then test with a partially full tank, but I would be grateful for advice as always.
Cheers, Colin.

Hi Colin...i think you will find that the rubber seal can distort as its tightened and cause leaks.....the original was fibre.....thats what i would use....im sure sngb sell them...a smear of hylomar wont hurt either....Steve viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15952&p=131423&hili ... al#p131423
