need help drilling tank in montg.

[mjames74]

Anyone in the Montgomery area have the diamond hole bits I might be able to borrow to drill my tank?

I'm doing a closed loop and splitting my return into 2 outlets through a scwd on a 40g breeder, so I'd be drilling 6 holes. 2 for CL return (lower tank section), 2 for overflow return (upper tank section). 1 for CL inlet and 1 for overflow drain.

I just don't want to have to spend the $ on something i'm going to use 1 time.

Also anyone know where I can get bulkheads locally. I've looked at Lowe's and HD.

I have the hole saw ,but I live in north Al.This is what I did I went to e-bay and I bought 2 diamond tipped hole saws for $18 dollars for both and that includes the shipping from Hong Kong .It took them 1 week to get here . I have used one of the bits so far .I have drill 3 holes so far and the bit still looks like new .O when u order the bits a 1 3/4 is 45 mm for a 1 inch bulkhead .If this is what u want to do pm me and I'll give u the sellers name and all that good stuff.They were a Buy it know so there was no bidding or anything . I have not found any bulkheads at any hardware store either .

there are a few industrial plumbing supply stores here i was going to check tomorrow, they weren't open on the weekend. figured if they didn't have them maybe grainger. might look there for the diamond bits too. lol wight as well look for a mh ballast and fixture too. i know they won't have the right bulb spectrums though. but i'm betting ebay is gonna be the best bet. i think i know who you're talking about, guy named lau***?

for the drain i was going with 1" but the returns i was thinking 1/2 or 3/4. what mm should i get in those ranges. i always hated trying to convert mm to inches.
