Should have said " as well" instead of myself on that one. Though I'm not sure what the valve on the non syphon drain is for. Still looks good
Newbies first tank drilling

What's not done quite right? It is exactly like the original, as close as I could get it that is.

I drilled a Biocube 29 with no problem. Just use a clutch drill at its lowest setting. It took me 3 min 26 sec to get through to install a glass holes overflow.

Things are looking good. How are you cycling your tank?
I used a big raw shrimp from the grocery store. I added a bottle of Bio Spira. Ammonia already spiked and dropped, Nitrite spiked a couple days ago. I'm leaving display lights off, and fuge light on at night. I have Chaeto growing in fuge. I haven't hooked up any reactors or anything else except powerhead pumps.

Nice I plan on doing the same method for cycling mine too. Do you think the bio spira sped up the process?
Not sure, it's been 20 years since I cycled a tank. Back then I used some bacteria additive and damsels. I don't have any way of knowing if the Bio Spira helped since water and tank size are so different. It couldn't hurt, I know that- but live sand also contains bacteria so I have no idea.

solid work and thinking about doing this myself.
on your overflow. what stops fish from getting sucked over the rim and into your drain lines. or even jumping over the glass and getting sucked into the sump?

I made an acrylic rim around the open edges of top which should stop most jumpers.

And I have a strainer on all the open pipes, which would stop most things from going down to sump. (not a persistent eel, but nothing would stop a persistent eel anyway.)
