A question about bulkheads

[diverrad]

so my new 75 has what looks like 2 1/2 inch holes drilled in it, what size bulkhead should i use with that? Also is it worth getting a overflow box for it or just put a strainer in the bulkhead and be done with it? I am thinking the holes are drilled a bit low to put a premade box on it from glass holes.com . The center of the hole is 4 1/2 inches from the top of the tank. Any ideas of how i should plumb this would be apreciated.

Sounds like an 1 1/2" bulkhead, use a 90 with screen adj left/right for water level

I have low profile bulkheads that require a wider hole but are for 1" pvc fittings. Yours for 9.99 nah j/k just what i pd for em...

These are those bulkheads. I bought em for their low profile, but didnt realize they required a larger hole. you can have them both for $18.987654321

Tilt them so they wont make noise. Just like this guy 300g build
