DIY PVC Overflow

No I here ya. Like I said "mostly all the DIY".. I would only do this on a tank can not be drilled. A 40gal and lower I would just drill. Just make sure the bottom isn't tempered. If its an All-Glass you should be fine as long it wasn't a Walmart kit special. Walmart specs their tanks to be tempered.

Thanks. Yeah it seems that after a few more hours of reading and watching videos that most, if not all, people that used 1/2" or 3/4" went up to 1" to get more flow.

 

I drilled my 10 gallon as a practice run yesterday, it was pretty easy. You just have to take your time and the bit/drill do the work. Than glass is so thin you def. run the risk of cracking it.

 

i think the elbow under the tee as to go then just place the tee there get it?

 

yes actually. I'm about to make a home depot run and get 1" pipe. I'll try it before I glue it all up. Thankfully pvc is fairly cheap lol. The parts cost less than the glue!

 

1 inch is big for a 10g

 

also make the loop on the outside lower then the tank the will bring ur flow rate up and test it b4 u glue it i only glued the portion in the tank and top loop coming out
