Whats the best way to do this, should I put in the bulkheads and then just use a threaded plug, or should I have a glass patch cut and silicon that over the holes?

And if I go the glass route, should I go with the same thickness as the bottom of the tank, 1/2" in this case?

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
The glass patch would be the best option IMO, chances of the bulkhead leaking would be far greater than the patch.
