So after a long time coming, I'm finally slowly starting my build. If you weren't apart of my thread poll I posted it's ok cuz everything in the build will be posted here. So there was a good amount of people that chose a 40 breeder tank over a 55 gallon tank. Actually I think it was like 40-1. So I decided to go with a 40 breeder!
So far I've got my stand somewhat built just need to do some finishing touches on it. Built my sump out of the glass from my first 40 breeder I baught and cracked while drilling....... (more on that later) I've actually came across a couple problems already. I Just finished drilling my drain and return but I have some questions on my overflow. I made the mistake of drilling my main line and emergency line before I got my overflow box. It's an internal CPR retrofit 07. So when I tried putting the box over the two bulked it wouldn't fit. So basically I screwed up by drilling the wholes to far apart. So what did I do? Being impatient as we all can be with this hobby, I went a head and siliconed it on over one of the bulkheads and left the other bulkhead (emergency line) on the outside if the box. I'll post pictures later so u can see. So here's my question. Can I drill another whole in the overflow box and make it so I have two emergency drain lines or will my glass crack if i try drilling another whole? Or should I leave it how it is? My first tank I drilled I cracked it because I think I was too close to the rim or drilling with too much pressure. I'm hoping this isn't the case this time? Any thoughts and advise would help.
