"So brand new to this" 125 gallon. DIY reseal! Now I got six feet of running water.!!

Looks good.

You have to make sure you can drill the tank based on the type of glass.

 

Dont use soap!!

 

Don't use soap wait what I'm almost done lol great well I'm Washin it out with really hot water so I should be good. Where can I buy the black trim that goes around the edges looks like my uncle had tape on it at some point.

Make sure you rinse it REAAAALLLY good.

Its very easy to drill. Any family member have a regular drill? If not, it comes really handy and mine was like less than $30 at Homedepot. Of course youd need a diamond drill bit which is around $5~10 online to drill glass.

 

Ill think about it I think ill just go with a overflow for noW. Plans for this week. Fix all doors think magnets are just really corroded but will see about new doors. Also going to paint it black and get new edges. Cleaned as best as I could but still alot of residue on glass how do I get rid of. Hers what it looks like now.

Also did that too my carpet any tips in how to remove its over spray from can

if you have some gojo hand soap the watery stuff in the can for mechanics should do the trick

Glass holes has me really thinking I should just drill. Going to look more into the plumbing of it now. They sell a complete kit so why not even the return stuff. Any one do this from this site?

Several have. Just go slow and easy as the videos show. Make a template of wood to do the drilling, clamp it to the glass and place a solid block of wood on the other side to minimize glass splintering when you drill through.

 

okay so how do i know if the glass is tempered or not.. would like to know as im planing to get the 1500 gph kit as well as the return kit from them.. and seems like only hitch is this tempered stuff...
