I am planning to drill a bulkhead in the bottom of my tank for a drain. It's going to be a standard 1" bulkhead fitting and I'm using a low profile drain about 2 1/2" in diameter. Is there a standard distance from the walls of the tank for the best flow? Thanks in advance, I'm trying to get this done today so fast responses will be appreciated!!

This may be too late now...but....are you are adding the bulkhead to drain water from the tank and/or filtration? I think most people like to just keep it out of the way so closer to the sides. But, probably not too close to the edge of the glass. More information on your intent for the drain would be helpful.
