Triton Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well what is the lowest you will drain the tanks to? You could drill 2 holes, an upper one for small water changes, and a lower one for big changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 What valves did you use for adding water, and what size line are they tapped into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I built my own bulkheads from pvc parts. You can see a picture of the here in my blog. I would stick as close to the middle of the tank as you can, safer to be away from the edges of the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 What valves did you use for adding water, and what size line are they tapped into?Haven't got any valves yet, I have 3/4 and 1/2 lines running to there. Its easy access and can change anything out. Still researching what bulk heads to use. Thanks oblong foe the info. Probably going to drill a little over halfway down. Should Be fine, my discus tanks are getting drilled from the bottom for easy water changes. Going to be nice doing speed changes on them.

High5's Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I know you have probably drilled many tank's I have too. I really like this guy's tank drilling method. His jig holds water using an o ring so the hole drilling is done submerged . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Pretty nifty I like his style of videos. Takes him awhile sometimes as he breaks it Barney style lol. I really want to make an aqua bridge between two rimless cubes. High5's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Update- Not too much this week. Put in 40 hrs of overtime this week. 80 hours in a few days haha. I'm off after today for an about a week. I'm stopping at Lowe's today to pick up the airline, drains and wood for the beam and post in the basement. Putting up a nice pole and dressing up the beam. I have the walls all sanded and will be painting tomorrow! Probably grab some 2x4 for the racks. High5's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
