Perhaps KZ have created their GAC in a special manner that they recommend hot water flushing before use. However, that's the first I've...

Is there a reason you're rinsing with hot water? Any source material that says you should be doing this? GAC is really only for use with...

Your gasket already looks like it's may have an imperfection in it. It's too hard to tell from the angle of the pic, but if the chip...

Also, since the tank is away from the wall, if you just use the gasket that came with the bulkhead and not use that gasket sheet, you...

Looks like a 3/8" (maybe 1/2") push connect. Get 3/8" stem to 1/4" push adapter. Double check size before buying https://a.co/d/1NyA682

Doh! Before I even had a chance to comment! Speciosa are my bane. The speciosa I have now in my tank is from Thinh at Coral Exotica...

Can't find the marine modular instructions online, but here are three other manufacturer's instructions. All put the gasket between the...

Having a gasket on the nut side can easily lead to the gasket twisting when tightening the nut. Having the gasket on the outside will...
