A bulkhead is just a watertight plumbimg fitting that lets a pipe go through the wall or bottom of a tank without leaking.
An overflow of one sort or another is used to get water from your tank into a wet/dry filter.
If you are not planning to use a wet/dry, you won't need bulkheads or overflows.

If you plan on using a wet/dry, sump filter, or any type of filter that requires water to be fed by gravity, you'll need an overflow of some sort. Search for threads containing wet/dry and you'll get a better understanding. Its much easier to see it than read it
what about a canister filter (rena x3) for a 100g tank or so with 3 caribe piranah?

well thats not cool for me cause im 13 and im trying to use my money only, mom/ dad against fish so do u know what a good filter is that is in a close price range for a 100 gal+I have an XP3 and I hate it.
Other people swear by them. Personally I would much rather have a wet/dry filter. They are better at biological and mechanical filtration (IMO) and they supply oxygen better as well
um whats the company that makes them or there just ac110 but do these work without power since i think the wet dry ones do?
AquaClear is the brand that makes them, model is the AC110. They are an external, hang on back style filter that needs power to operate.
