what are the bulkheads for and which side?
drains in an overflow,never glue inside. Slip allows you to pull and drain the overflow and get stuff out easy.
In general I prefer slip and glue. Never leaks, unlike threads that seem to leak quite often during installs.....
Down side is you can't remove it. Or cut and then put a threaded union it?
But I don't plan to undo.... and if I do, i feel its a good time to use a new bulkhead and gasket anyway!

Its for a Overflow drain. Im planning out the Breeder and grow out tank system. Planning on 10 gallon Grow out tanks and 29 divided breeders. so i could have 4 pairs of breeders and im dont know how many grow out tanks as of yet.... But prolly 4 of them to start.

Threaded is perfectly fine and will not leak as long as you have quality bulkheads and install the, correctly.Love my Spears bulks and prefer ThrdXThrd in case I want to completely disassemble .
