Who can drill a tank near Charleston?

[LowCel]

It took about 20 minutes to drill. I was being extremely cautious.

I just finished putting in the bulkhead, putting in the glass panels, and putting the first coat of paint on the back of the sump. I thought I had plenty of eggcrate but I was wrong. I'll pick some up tomorrow and finish the sump up.

Why paint the back of the sump?

Want to give a demo at the next meeting?

Already talked to Ron about it, if I am available on that day I'm planning on it. I would rather do a smaller hole though, this large hole is pretty tough. To do it I might just pick up a piece of glass unless someone has a broken tank they want to try it on. I would rather not do a ten gallon though, they are very easy to break.

I know it's just a sump but I like it to look as clean as possible. I will be able to hide most of the wires behind the sump and keep things as neat as possible.
