[Tonyscoots84]

ummm yea right.. i might have ballz but i aint freaking nuts... i wouldnt even ask my dad to do that for me.. he would end up breaking it and then he would have to go out and buy me my RR 120 gallon.... hey i just thought of an idea.. ANYONE NO WERE I CAN GET A BIT FOR DRILLING GLASS.. lolz J/k

 

[masterswimmer]

One thing you must remember when drilling a hole in glass......you are not actually drilling, you are grinding a hole. Therefore you put NO PRESSURE on the drill. Just the weight of the drill will be enough.

Also, keep the drill bit wet at all times. The heat generated will be enough to crack the glass. The water will take care of that issue.

Like I said, I can walk you through it very easily, just can't do it for you.

But for real tony ,If you dont know how to do it ,or you are not sure ,bring it to a glass place for 40 bux youwill save your tank ,JMO

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i didnt want to order.. i would rather pick it up from a store with people in it.. lolz i hate ordering online.. LOLZ

so what exactly am i gonna need for the thing to bring the water down... and the return bulkhead

 

[Tonyscoots84]

ohhh i thought those were the bulkheads and stuff i needed

 

[masterswimmer]

Tony, you need to have your bulkheads before you have it drilled. I've got a few 1" bulkheads on my tank that required different size holes drilled for them. Better to have the bulkheads and trace the gasket on the glass for them to drill the right size and in the right spot.

[Tonyscoots84]

ummm also what are the right spotss... this would be the 1st drilled tank and i dont no where is a better spot and what exactly to use..

anthony yo co-master... lolz

 

[masterswimmer]

Ok my co-junior-master......your overflow and return (anything going to your sump) you want as high on the tank as possible.

Your closed loop can be anywhere. There will be no worry about any back siphoning in case of a power outage.

Your objective is to allow as little water to flow out of the tank in the event of the eventual power outage as possible. Then you want to make sure your sump has enough space in it to allow it to receive all the back siphon that your overflow and return will take from the tank.

Not sure if this is clear or not, but we can talk more about it.

[Tonyscoots84]

umm russ i only need it for like 3 weeks to a month max for the 29 gallon.. i ordered the asm g3 and im gettin the return pump from a member here.. just needed to use it for that length of time.. didnt want to spend 60.00 on something thats gonna get used for a month and then i would have to sell it at like 20.00 lolz.. not worth it.. thanks for the link though..

anyone got one that i can borrow.. let me no it would be greatly appreciated..

 

[Tonyscoots84]

anyone have an extra one lying around that i can borrow. i will return it cleaner then i recieved it thanks......

please anyone at all willing to help out a fellow reefer.. again i need the overflow for a month max.. thanks

 

[masterswimmer]

Toneeeeeeeeee, the problem is, not many experienced reefers have external overflows. And if they do, they're in use.

One other thing. Anyone who's not following this thread, after 4 pages, isn't going to see this request. Start a new thread with WTBverflow as your topic. You may get some better responses.

GL,
