Use Teflon Tape. Loctite isnt really implied as a sealant as much as teflon tape. Teflon tape seals extremly well, and does hold pretty tight. You dont really need to worry about the fill nipple coming loose since it is never twisted around. Most tanks fill nipples have teflon tape or black high strenth teflon tape on them, but normal white will do fine. Just use it right (3-4 layers, wrapped counter-clockwise, starting 2-3 threads up.)

And make sure your tank is completly empty first before doing anything.
