GlassHoles is a good source for determining what size hole bit you need for a given size bulkhead. (Unfortunately the bits seem to be sized in mm and not inches.)
Note also that you shouldn't under size a bulkhead. I've seen GPH charts for bulkhead sizes. (But I can't point you at one.)

As far as the egg whirls go, you should try to hatch them out in a small tank that has NO amphipods. Otherwise you'll be left wondering why the eggs didn't hatch...
You might be better off getting a single stage Ranco controller. Not sure what you're looking at, but if it isn't a Ranco, it isn't as bulletproof. (Note that some controllers on the market are just re-packaged Rancos.) Check eBay for them, but note that some new models require you to wire...

And, I have a good sized external pond filter...
If you have the space or are plumbed into your basement, a reactor is a waste of money and just another point of failure. It is easier to use mix kalk in a large container and dose from there. Put a float switch in the container to tell you when to re-fill it. I once used a 55g drum and a...
I'd love to get my hands on a culture. Ordered some two weeks ago on eBay and it never made it to the seller's Post Office. Supposed to have been re-sent, but still not here. I've got some fresh dampened potting soil in a plastic box waiting for them...
