I have decided to drill the back of my 6ga. nano-cube to run my chiller lines. I need to get 2 1/2" bulkheads for my project. Which type of bulkheads are recommended to keep things small as i dont have that much room for long bulkheads. What type of cutting bits are recommended to drill the back of the tank?

I have never seen any low profile bulkheads. I'm nit sure they would be strong enough to hold up. The regular ones (http://www.diamondbitsusa.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=22&category_id=7&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1) are all I'm familiar with.
