    Can't cut teeth into glass. Besides the drain IN the overflow will be blocked with a strainer or something like it. I've even seen people use the Coast-to-Coast as a holding area. (I'm not that daring) LOL Snails can climb with teeth or without can't they? ;) I though the reason for the teeth...

    The return will be PVC up and over the edge, it will be hidden by the canopy. I'm trying to not drill the tank. but may have to for second down pipe, in case one clogs. or may do the second one over the edge too. thanks

    The one in the link doesn't need silicone. It's just that I can't seem to find the parts. Anyway a little silicone never hurt anyone ;D There's more to come on this "Budget" build, let's see what trouble I can get myself into. ;)
