What size holes do you need?

 

[skaterzero22]

i just need 2x 1inch holes on a tank that is 2.5g-10g

1 inch holes.... are you sure. because if your putting bulk heads in they need larger holes, most 1 inch bulkheads need a 1 5/8 - 1 3/4 hole.

yea im not using bulkheads just regular pvc plumbing. super glue and silicone

Get with Rob at Oceans Below, he has drilled a couple of tanks for me in the past. They are off of Dixie just south of North Lake.

You are asking for trouble if you do this.

i second the trouble, why not just use a bulkhead........

 

[skaterzero22]

well not counting the LFS's i havent been to because of driving distance.. the ones i go to don't even sell bulkheads.. i litterally have to drive 30mins to one place that i "think" sells bulkheads.. i didn't think there would be a problem but im going to take your advice on it and use a bulkhead. ive heard good things about rob at oceans below so ill check him out. thanks so much guys!
