How close can I safely put bulkheads? I'm thinking 2 more 3/4" bulkheads in my overflow. But there's not alot of room. Heres a pic. The large hole is for a 1.5" bulkhead, and the small one is 3/4" I was thinking 2 more 3/4 inbetween the 2 allready there, like this

Think there would be enough room? Bottom of tank is on Pink Styrofoam to support the weight

To close IMO.
How thick is the BTM?

Speedee glass has typically recommened 3" from any edge when drilling holes.

tank is 1/2" glass, on all pieces.
