I'm going to drill it vertical. I ordered a glass-holes 1500 GPH kit. It uses dual 1.5" bulkheads. And I think while I'm at it I'm going to drill a hole for the return as well.

^ You sound so good at it, you should come over for tacos and beer!

^ I'm thinking that's what I might do. Maybe lay a cloth in there to catch as much of the "dust" as possible and then throw it out.

Is it really as easy as the videos make it look?

My biggest regret is not drilling my tank when I had it all broken down in early November. Since I am still without fish/coral, I am considering partially draining it and drilling it. I would like to drain most of the water, leaving a few inches in the bottom for my CUC. Can I drill this while the tank is upright? If I drill it from inside the tank, can I run the output from a small pump to the hole saw for lubrication? I'm in Vienna. Is there anybody close by that has done this before? Would you consider helping me out with this?

I wish I would have drilled my tank before I set it up.

^ that's fascinating

I'm with Chad on this one.

Cool. I'm probably up for a few items.

Bailing wire!

I have that one and it works great. No leaks!

I know I'm kind of new on here, but I've had all kinds of tanks for years. I would be more than happy to come over and hang this thing for you guys. This would be easy for me if you guys would like some help.

This works realy well and looks nice. It doesn't even have to be "decorative". Just a piece of 1x4 painted to match the ceiling works. Plus, it blends in and no one will even notice it.

Fantastic!
