The bulkhead will seal the tank. The inside plumbing will be ok just pushed together. The outside the tank plumbing needs to be glued, clamped or screwed together to be water tight........ I was wondering if I have to cement the plumbing for my supply?I’m just going to soft plumb the return...
Thank you!The bulkhead will seal the tank. The inside plumbing will be ok just pushed together. The outside the tank plumbing needs to be glued, clamped or screwed together to be water tight
Do you think I will have an issue with livestock going down that elbow inside the tank?The bulkhead will seal the tank. The inside plumbing will be ok just pushed together. The outside the tank plumbing needs to be glued, clamped or screwed together to be water tight

Anyway I could improve it?Congratulations on successfully drilling your tank! Depending on the fish that you have in the tank it is a possibility. One possibility is to wrap it in plastic gutter guard (or something comparable). Please realize that your current design will probably not be quiet.

Keep the fish out or make it qui
what if I added a second pipe? I have another bulkhead handy. I also have an old hob overflow as well+1 Above
You have 1 pipe to act as an overflow, it will hard to make it quiet.
You have 1 pipe to act as an overflow, the pump can push too much water into the tank causing an overflow. Make sure the pump is small and not too powerful.
Am I following you correctly? I have an old hob overflow and I have another bulkhead (I connected two sumps awhile back for my 125g) as well. Could I drill the overflow box (the one that goes inside the tank) slap the bulkhead on it and use that as the overflow box? Then I could use the T and end cap?Because you have already drilled the tank a standard external overflow box (e.g., Eshopps Eclipse) probably will not work because of how the hole lines up. One possibility is to add a retrofit overflow box on the inside of the tank and remove the elbow. Then on the outside of the tank remove the 90 elbow and replace it with a PVC T and an end cap on the top side that has a 1/4" hole drilled in the center of the end cap for air release. Hopefully others will chime in with more options. Good luck!
Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the part where you said I only had one overflow and that could be a problemkeep fish out
Not sure what to do with a second pipe. Maybe someone has an idea
And the hole on the end cap helps with flow? Similar to shotgunning a beer?Am I following you correctly?

It’s an eshops. It was for a 125 gallon tank
