First time plumbing a tank with bulkheads so I’m unsure if I should glue the drain pipe to the internal bulkhead. Thanks guys!

Nope. Easier to remove if you ever need to. Water is going down it anyway, doesnt matter which way it gets in ;)
 
Thanks! That’s what I figured but I wanted to check!
Now the pipe on the outside that goes into the bottom you'll definitely want to glue in. I highly recommend getting your bulkhead put in, and gluing the bottom drain line in, wait for that to dry and then put your inside drain line in. If you put it in right away some of the wet glue could accidentally glue your internal drain pipe into place.......not that I've ever accidentally done that before or anything ;Sorry
