Yup, I drilled it myself. It's really easy. My wet test has yielded yet another problem. When I shut off the pump, the returns siphon back the...
Hey all, I'm one of the new guys, and since I found this site while researching how to setup my first reef tank, I thought I should let you in on how...
Well I have the returns plumbed through a SCWD, and each of the returns has a Wye reducer and some locline, so I can put the flow wherever I want. I...
I was just watching an episode of Planet Earth about a giant lake in Siberia, and they showed a gigantic freshwater amphipod swimming around that was...
Well the overflow I have is the super-nano w/ teeth from glass-holes, so it will skim the surface constantly, which I'm betting will eliminate the...
So I finally got my tank all plumbed yesterday with Loc-line as the returns. I am hoping to only use these Loc-line returns as flow without havig to...

Hey all. So I recently drilled my 29g with the overflow in the back center of the tank without completley thinking it through. I had planned on...
Almost seems like a waste to have Freshwater in a tank that awesome, it's just begging for corals! :P All joking aside, the entire setup looks...
The site is actually called glass-holes.com :P The bottom of most tanks are tempered glass, and if you try to drill it very bad things will...
I think basically what he's saying is that the carpeting on top of the stand is a bad idea, and I agree. It will just get wet and start to mold and...
I just ordered one of these for my 29g (the smaller one than that, but with teeth) and I am really looking forward to installing it. I would also...
