Diamond Bit anybody?

[Tajjo]

Hello all i am setting up my 75 gal with 40 gal sump and need to drill my 40 gal tank, does anybody have a 1" diamond hole drill bit that would be willing to help me drill the tank? Id appreciate it.
Thanks all!
This isnt going to be real soon maybe another week or so, once my little giant comes in.

Are you looking for a 1" bit or a hole for a 1" bulkhead?

Im looking for a core bit for a 1" bulkhead

I ended up doing a temp solution that I like so much that I'm sticking with it. I did a u tube, no drilling for the sump. Used a power head to push water from the main tank down through the tube. Now, there is always water there to start the pump - It pumps more water and is 100x quieter. There is so little vibration noise. Ohh yea, the stickers are for water level reminders

I have one. You're more than welcome to use it.

Mike (miwoodar) has a 45 mm that we used to drill my sump for a 1" bulkhead. You might want to try him. He likes Guinness. :beer:

I can't tell from the picture how it is setup but from the way you describe the setup I'd be careful with flooding.

It takes about 20 minutes per hole (I go slow).

Tajjo,

I have two bits for 1-1/4" sch 40 bulkheads. I drilled the 75 G frag tank that you saw when you got the CR.

You should have said something. McGuckins in Boulder has the bulkheads.
