I need two holes drilled for to fit 3/4" bulkheads and one hole in the center to fit a 1" bulkhead. This is going to be drilled on a 1/4" back pane before i put the tank together. So if someone (a pro at this) is kind enough and lives close to union, nj 07083 I would like these cut. Its probably...
Yea thats what the guy had. A T outside with an airhole i think. How can I determine what flow this can handle? I would use two 1" holes for that pvc overflow.
Calfo is the guy who thought of that design (i think). I just came across an overflow made from pvc with a portion cut from the top. Sort of a coast to coast overflow. Whats your opinions on it? Heres a picture for reference although i would make it a bit longer.
Jcurry, your design seems similar to a calfo overflow someone has on reefcentral. Its a thought though im still trying to get it all external. If I cant your idea is the next one to do.
Seany, I actually have the glass cut to the dimensions. I just need to figure out an overflow design and...
I knew what you meant and it seems like teeth would be hard to do with glass. I would probably do teeth on an acrylic piece and glue it there. What im worried is my tank cracking from doing the overflow like that since its rimless and I heard of other peoples cracking as well. Thats why I...

I had an old 40G breeder I took apart. I then had a glass shop cut and bevel the edges for me. Right now the pieces are 1/4 inch and bottom is 3/8 inches thick. Now I need help determing the size of sump/refuge I need and how I can do a external overflow. I originally wanted to cut the back pane...
Thanks for the advice. I live in Union, NJ and most places I tried calling some glass places yesterday and most people did not know about starphire glass. I got one person who said it wont be much of a difference since its only a 1/4 inch thats why I asked the question.
I meant the drain hole...
I have so many questions on tank building and would like everyones input. I want a tank that is 30 x 15 x 13. Maybe an inch less on the height and/or depth, havent decided yet. Heres my questions.
1. What size glass or acrylic would i have to use?
2. Can an acrylic aquarium be rimless?
3. If...
