Question: Bulkhead fittings, tubing going into sump.

[Jimmi]

I recently bought a used 90-gallon drilled tank. As the plumbing is currently configured, the tubing that goes from the overflow bulkhead beneath the tank into the sump is only slipped into the bottom of the bulkhead. This does not seem correct to me. I think this should be a secured threaded fitting. However, there are no leaks as this tubing is low-pressure. Hopefully, the enclosed pic’s may clarify my question.

I would glue a nipple on there with PVC cement if you want flex hose.

Yeah it would be better if you either got a threads fitting to run down or if you somehow glued that tubing to that as a way to prevent it from slipping out.
