Hey so with my plumbing there seems to be some leaks coming from the threaded part of the bulkhead and the male adapter. I have it as tight as i can get it. Should i use teflon tape on it?
Teflon Tape

I use thread dope on all my threaded connections.
I use teflon tape on all threaded joints. If it still seems a little loose, wrap it a few times. I know a few guys swear by thread dope and I'm sure it would work too (better?) but I've always used the tape.
I only use thread dope because it is easier to apply than the tape for me. Both should work well
I’ve always heard Teflon tape isn’t the best for leaks. I used some sort of paste on all my threaded pvc stuff. I fixed a couple leaks with it and haven’t had any issues since.

Is it leaking where a pipe threads into the bulkhead or around the large nut that tightens the bulkhead? If it is the nut, did you put the washer on the non-nut side of the glass?
Its not leaking there. I think I got it taken care of.
