I need to know what size loc line needs to go into this bulkhead. The drilled hole is 1 in so I will be getting a 1 in bulkhead with threads on the head side. I want to put a loc line on there but I'm not sure what size it needs to be or if they even carry that size. One last thing I'm unsure about is if you want to connect pvc to the other side of the bulkhead, how do you do that? Would you just buy a 1 in 90 degree slip x spigot to go inside the bulkhead? If you need any clarification on any of this just let me know. I'm not exactly the best in the plumbing department lol.
 
Some pictures to try and clarify what I mean talking about.

BRS has a great chart on hole size in proper sizing of bulk heads. I would go there to check and order the right size for your tank, it sounds to me like you have a 1" hole in the tank so that means your likely going to end up with 1/2 inside diameter plumbing. check out their sight for clarification.
 
To glue PVC to ABS there is only one type of glue that is made. It is called "transition cement" and is green in color. You can use a slip by spigot ell. If you have a 1" hole in the glass you will only need a 3/4" or 1/2" ell or loc line. Make sure that you use a cleaner before gluing any joint. They make a clear one.
