need help

[HartfordWhalers]

IM looking to get my 40 breeder drilled sometime soon. Im going on vacation in about 3 weeks and im not extremly pleased with my overflow. Would anyone be willing to help drill the tank 1in hole. I would pay money for someone to help me do this.

what size hole do you need?

 

[HartfordWhalers]

1 inch

 

[trstange]

Is the tank full?

 

[PL-Reef]

one inch bulkhead?

 

[HartfordWhalers]

the tank if full but im goingn to empty it before it is drilled, yeah a 1in bulkhead, im using 1in pvc, not sure if bulkhead is different but i want a 1in hole for 1in pvc.

 

[trstange]

If you bring it to the meeting, I'll drill it for you.

 

[PL-Reef]

a one inch bulkhead requires a 45mm hole.

 

[HartfordWhalers]

i dont have a bit or anything to cut with not tool or anything, so i was wondering if i could pay someone with one to cut it for me.

You want an overflow box to go with that too? I came across an old style Oceanic one that I ripped out of a cracked tank... yours if you want it! I'll even glue it in for you once Tom is finished with the drilling....

 

[HartfordWhalers]

oh ihave an overflow now that im going to cut, but i ned the tools to get it drilled, for a 1in hole, not sure bulkhead i gotta look that up now but if anyone has one to drill a 1 in hole they can bring tomorrow my friend is driving up mr pink floyd and i can pay you there,
Yeah sure ill take the overflow if it happens tomorrow

 

[JonTarutis]

If you look above Tom is willing to drill it if you bring it to the meeting....

 

[HartfordWhalers]

Yeah i saw above, but is he saying he has the tools or i have to have them and bring cuz i dont have, and i need to know if it would be a 1in hole not bulkhead cuz those are different sizes i think

 

[trstange]

I'm confused, do you want to buy a drill bit or do you want to have your tank drilled? If you want it drilled, bring it to the meeting and I'll do it there. I have the proper sized 1 3/4 bit.

 

[JonTarutis]

Typically you will need a 1 3/4"- 1 7/8" hole for a 1" bulkhead depending on the bulkhead. I believe Tom has the bit for the size hole you need... but he needs you to bring the tank with you. I hope I am interpretting this correctly...

Sounds right to me... :bum:

 

[HartfordWhalers]

sorry for confusion i want it drilled to fit a 1in hole, bulkhead not sure sizes all i know is im putting 1in like pvc pipe in so whatever bulkhead size is needed i need , not to smart with all this so unclear 1 3/4 bulkhead if inch or i dunno i just need a hole that will fit a 1in pvc pipe
im kinda like stupid with this stuff and confusing

 

[HartfordWhalers]

i think what you are saying is what i need, so ill do that tomorrow. I have a Mag 7 in the sump, and i need to go to home depot to get pipes or something to bring it down

 

[trstange]

you can get a 1" bulkhead at Exotic superpet on Silver Lane in East Hartford they usually have them in stock.

 

[JonTarutis]

my advice... bring the tank and take Tom up on his offer!
