How wants to watch a 125 tank get cut up and drilled?

[doody]

Stacker and I are in the middle of planning to cut external overflows into my 125g tank. Like in this link http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=502320

I'm gonna drill bulkhead holes in it as well. Not sure how soon we'll be doing it, but I'd like to invite anyone who wants to watch and learn how to cut glass for bulkheads, and an other option for overflows to let us know. Well, the only thing you might learn is how to crack a tank if we don't do it right. Anyway, invite's there. I'm wanting to do it soon after the holiday. Maybe this will be our next MY-SEA meeting.
BYOEP

Ohh, maybe I should ask Stacker if it's cool to invite people. After all it's his place. Stack is it cool man?
There, I asked.

[STACKER]

Um... sure

 

[doody]

LOL!!! Looks like it's just you and I pal.

 

[STACKER]

Same as it ever was...

 

[doody]

That = more fun for U & I

 

[STACKER]

..or carnage, ER visits, and comic relief for everyone else...

 

[doody]

Stacker, I got all the glass for the actuall overflow box cut. I'll try to get them assembled over the weekend. This way all we gotta do after we cut the tank is mount them on. I have to get a couple bulkheads and I then we can go tto town on this bad boy.

I can't believe that no one wants to come watch two drunk guys play with power tools, glass, water, and electricity.

 

[STACKER]

I'm sober... I might have a beer or 2 but not till after the power tools stop runnin. That's just asking for trouble there.

 

[doody]

I know man. I'm no rich or dumb enuff to let us trash a tank on purpose. I just can't believe none of the other kids wanna come out to play. Maybe, if we make them get permission slips signed stateing that they have to wear safty glasses.

 

[STACKER]

"So be it says Stacker"...

 

[fishguy449]

when you doing it?

 

[doody]

We can actually cut the tank whenever Stacker sais I can bring it to the shop. I was just trying to get the bulkheads and the overflow boxes put together before hand. This way we can do the whole thing in one shot. I'd like to avoid haveing it take more than a day because I'm sure it'll be in the way if we have to leave it in the shop, and I don't wanna carry it back and forth. Trust me. A 125g tank with 1/2" glass is damn heavy. But I'm ready when you are. It'll be fun. Let me call up my good chum Stacker and get his thoughts.
