You sound a lot like me about 30 years ago.
Damn that makes me feel old.
You need to be real careful to not over tighten the bulkheads. It isn't as hard to crack a tank as you might think. If you have any more leaks, you need to take the bulkhead apart, clean all surfaces of ALL debris (a single grain of sand is one too many) and reassemble. If the bulkhead gaskets are old, they may need to be replaced. And remember - it goes bulkhead flange, then gasket, glass, and nut. No gasket is needed on the nut side, nor will teflon tape (bad - don't use it anywhere) or Teflon Paste. The nut on the outside is there only to allow the gasket to make a seal on the inside.
hth.
And pics when you've got it running!!!
Enjoy the obsession.
