|   Hammer and flat head screw driver always works for me when I can get a wrench on it. Just be careful not to hit the tank   |

|   I managed to cinch it tight and it looks like stop the leak. Hopefully thats the last of that problem. I got a new thread now with the next dilemma that Im working through but I think I got a solution, just requires buying more parts. |

|   little bit of aquarium safe silicone on the rubber gasket would also stop the leak rona brand silicone is aquarium safe and about $4 a tube
