I did not go into detail on how I build this only because the only thing that I really did different is that I used my router table for circles and flanges not my drill press. I also added a drain into the bottom compartment later and a second bulk head for more drainage. this was an awsome...

this method of installing a bulkhead into a sealed compartment worked like a charm. Acrylic is so user friendly.

I think I know now how I can do this. I need to cut a hole bigger then my bulk head in the sealed compartment and add a piece of acrylic with bulk head installed to the outside with weldon 16 witch sould fuse the to together to make a waterproof seal. will let all know what the outcome is shortly
