I started with an aluminum welding flange, Aircraft Spruce part number AN867-3 with a finger strainer, AC Spruce part number 05-17700. Then fittings as necessary. I drilled about 6 small holes in the flange, bedded it in place with flox against the tank wall, and the put a layer of glass over it. It works extremely well.
