Hello all,
You can find my first larger build here, http://www.cichlid-forum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=246505, but I have some different problems dealing with my new build as listed below.
The next project is in the works. My friend and I are designing and building a 30 gal drilled tank with a 10 gal sump for filtration. Shouldn't take as long as my 75gal build as we already whipped up a stand and have both tanks in the garage already.
We do need some opinions though and some help with bulkhead sizes and the hole sizes in the tank.
We want to have one overflow bulkhead with two return bulkheads. We are going to run 2 sump pumps so that both returns are equal in strength.
What size diamond bits should we get, i'm guessing the overflow will need a bigger bulkhead than the returns so I'm guessing well need at least 2 bits, to drill the tank? I'd like to re-use these bits when i plumb my 40gal breeder saltwater tank so if possible, what bits and bulkheads would be compatible for both of these projects?
What size bulkheads should we order to fit these drilled holes?
Links to both, sturdy diamond bits and quality bulkheads would be greatly appreciated. The fast we receive some input, the faster this project will be done and the saltwater tank will begin.
Thanks!
