It wasn't the bulkhead itself that was leaking, but was just the threaded fitting going into the bulkhead. I didn't have a wrench quite big enough for that fitting so I couldn't properly tighten it, but thats fixed now.
My first "big" aquarium

Here are the promised pictures after changing rock work again, as well as organizing the cabinet, and the new additions. Enjoy and always open to suggestions!
Went on a business this trip week, looks like enough algae starting to grow on the rocks to support some bottom feeders. Went and picked up 8 more assorted cichlids (1 albino, 2 dark blue/light blue peacocks, 3 orange, 1 electric yellow, and a very interesting one that looks like an elongated mbuna that is black and white striped on top half of body and pure yellow on bottom). Also added Purigen to the tank and added the moon light I ordered that arrived while away.
21 fish total now, have to see if this addition affects ammonia level at all due to additional of purigen as well. Still will probably add 10-20 more in the near future. All the fish that the store had left currently was electric yellows, which there are already 5 and trying to mix it up some.

I would go for a black background on that tank. It will make the overflows blend in..
great looking setup!

I'm currently looking into a bigger setup, so this tank may indeed turn into a fowlr in the near future...
Like so many others here, the bug has bit again and I am upgrading to a larger tank. This tank, stand, canopy, lids now for sale. Make an offer.
