    Hi everyone,

    Have a little problem, I've been searching endlessly and can't seem to find what I want. Sounds like it used to exist but no more? I will be drilling my tank to add a return line behind it in one corner. I am looking for a slim bulkhead for 1/2 inch glass, size should be 3/4. I only have 3" of space behind the tank, and need to fit the bulkhead and a elbow. Anyone familiar with something I can use?

    Everything on MD is too long, and I would like to avoid putting the stem on the inside of the tank as it would be ugly. Glass-holes used to carry something similar but no more. :(

    I will try and post a pic today.

    are you looking at threaded or slip bulk heads?

    Tank's already up and running, not searching for this anymore. But I was looking for threaded.

    Regular 3/4 bulkhead, it fit. I was going to cut it worst case, but didn't have to.
