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 no concern for a flood or anything. The hole in the top of the tank is not large enough for the 3/4" bulkhead. If I fabricated something to put in the tank to catch the shavings from drilling, would it work for me to drill out that hole larger so the bulkhead will fit? Without having to tear down the tank?
