Leaky bulkhead?

Well, I wet tested my system for the first time and its a little damp on the top the stand near the hole for the bulkhead. I think water may be sqeezing out between the drilled out hole and bulkhead assembly. It's not a lot but there's definitely water leaking out somewhere.

Does anyone know of a way to test for leaks from the bulkhead? Also, how tight do I clamp it down? Do I tighten it until it can't go anymore?

I think I found the problem. The bottom nut wasn't sitting flush with the bottom of the tank.

I think I built my stand a little too bullet-proof, I'm having to cut the hell out of it to get the bulkhead to fit/sit properly.
