drill

Hey everyone, so I’m going to be drilling holes in my 75 gallon tank for both overflows and returns. I’m going to be using an Eclipse L from Eshopps, and they provided the bit as well as a guide so I’m good there, but I’m confused as to how large I should make a hole for my return. The overflow...

So I have a 40b and I’m starting to run out of room for additional equipment and I plan on adding a Neptune apex soon. The corals growth is making any equipment cleaning tough. I’ve already broken several pieces while cleaning the skimmer because the corals are growing so high. I would also like...

Finally upgrading to a sump from my canister setup. I'm just ordering everything now and doing all of the planning. I got the Eshopps medium overflow box kit, and that comes with a 1.5" diamond drill bit for the overflow. For the return I am planning on getting a Jebao DC pump and soft plumbing...

Hello fellow saltines, This is actually for a stand holding my freshwater tank but I figure the knowledge might come in handy for a future stand for my saltwater tank. The stand is fairly well made but it's lacking shelves in the cabinet area. Totally makes sense for a large canister filter but...

Hello everyone, as many experienced reefers know. Caves are important and sometime you need to make some for specific fish. Well I have an idea, it is to take my rock and drill caves into it. Instead of creating caves with multiple rocks. Has anyone done this? If so can you post pictures?

I'm joining in the Build Thread - at the encouragement of the moderators - and as Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday said in Tombstone - "I'm your Huckleberry!" My build thread will start with a what not to do. Or, if you do attempt to do this be prepared for what you're getting yourself into. Read on -...

So I finally won the rights to a few feet of space in my office lol... wife let me get rid of a piece of furniture. 3 ft tank seemed like a perfect fit so I have been bouncing between ordering a planet cristaline, innovative marine 75 int, reefer 300xl. Still may go that route, but wanted...

I got a really good deal on a deep blue 57g reef ready rimless tank, but the center overflow takes up way too much space in the display. I'd like to remove the overflow, patch the holes in the bottom, and drill new holes in the back to plumb a low profile overflow and return. Has anyone done...

Hello all, a buddy of mine is looking to get rid of his 125G tank, its not a reef tank, but has 1, 1.5" inch hole on one side predrilled. I have a 75G at the moment and this 125G would be a nice upgrade if I know exactly how to set this new tank for reef. since there is a predrilled hole, I am...

Hi, I came across this video on YouTube. I dont have anymore details from what you see in the video but to put it mildly this was a total tank disaster. Watch, enjoy and comment

Hi guys, I'm in Warminster 18974 and we just bought a 125 gallon tank. I would like to drill the overflow, but I have no experience with this. Is there anyone in the area who might be able to help ? Thanks in advance!

We recently bought a 120 gallon tank that is drilled. It is our first drilled tank but have had saltwater tank in the past. My husband has epilepsy and Parkinson's and cannot plumb it but we are able to take care of it once it is plumbed. We live in Streator, IL if you can help it would be...

Alright. So dilemma here. I have a 55 gallon acrylic tank. Had it up and running for approx 6 months. When I bought it, all it had for a return is a 1" hose. I want to hardplumb the tank so I purchased all the piping I'd need and bulkheads. The return goes into the tank from the top, so there's...
