The rubber gasket is there, but I was just showing how the two bolts connect the tank and the bowl.
Funny you mention the gasket thing cause when I initially installed the tank, I completely forgot to put the gasket there so, my initial flush, I had water flowing out the bowl side and onto the bathroom tile..YIKES!!!!!! So I had to drain the tank and remove the tank, install gasket, redo the previous steps... Much better!!!!
