Anybody want to drill my tank???

[Jcurry@wesketch]

I've decided I want to have a center overflow and a return on each side. The 2 return holes were already drilled when I got the tank. Anybody want to drill the center hole on my tank???

I can help you out if I have the right sze bit.

What size drians do you need?

 

[Jcurry@wesketch]

Thanks Bax, I need an 1 3/4" hole.

 

[Baxreefs]

So thats a 1 1/2" BH?
I have some bits I got from Glass Holes that bit only has two holes on it so there's plenty of ware left. How many are you drilling?
Can the tank be flipped over to drill?

 

[Jcurry@wesketch]

I have a 1" bulkhead that needs an 1 3/4" hole, so the glassholes bit should work. It's a little 25 gallon cube so we move it around easily. I just need 1 hole. Let me know what day and time works best for you.

Even better that size has never been used!

I'll see if I have some time later this week.

 

[Jcurry@wesketch]

Sounds good, let me know.

hi. I'm laying plans with Curt (our treasurer). We are building a new sump for my 140 gallon tank. It's 70 gallon but we have been debating a CPR overflow or drilling the tank. Love some help/feedback. We both live in Howell So any help would be great.

 

[Jcurry@wesketch]

Drill the tank, overflows always seem to fail when you're not home.

+1 to drilling the tank. Make sure the glass is not tempered first!!!

Glass-holes has them at a good price…..buy their overflow, and the bit comes with the kit, and shipping is free.
