Adding built in powerheads

[gfernandes]

i was wondering how i would go about adding a powerhead or water mover to the tank? like threw the glass. i have seen tanks that have them built into the glass. just wondering how to do it. do you use bulkheads?
Thanks

umm they aren't built into the glass they are either held by magnets, suction cups or both.

Vortech?

you are probably talking about multiple returns or even a closed loop system. when people have returns from their sump they can split it off into many different holes through the glass. or a similar closed loop system just for water flow. am i right?

so heres whats happening im looking into a 135 gallon reef ready tank. now this is a big upgrade from my 55 gallon that i took down last year but im gonna do it any way. the guy i might purchase a tank from said it has 3 bulkheads but im not really sure what that means. i would like to set the tank up with CLS because it really help with water movement and will bring quaility to my tank. i just have no idea how i would start setting that up.
