Hi!
I recently got a 125 gallon that i'm setting up for my goldfish. It has three 2" holes cut into the back near the top of the tank.
What I want to do is either block these holes off, OR get some sort of bulkhead adapter so i could pipe my canister underneath using the holes.

Any ideas/recommendations?

Thank you!

L LOK , 2 inch diameter holes are an odd size, are they exactly 2 inch in diameter?

You will probably be looking to get one inch bulkhead fittings if your hole measurements are correct. I got my BH fittings from Jehmco and the link to their BH fitting page is Jehmco Bulkhead fittings. Just scroll down the page and view the options for Required Hole SIze to choose which style you want or you can call them and ask what style you need if you want to hook up your canister filter.

You will need to know the ID and OD of your canister filter hose to get the proper fitting. There are other vendors that do sell BH fittings but the important thing to remember is the actual hole sizes your aquarium has.
