morgan175 June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 This is his stand. He helped build it. This tank will be a dwarf lion tank with a few softies. We are taking it slow. I never built a stand and very proud of it. Next we will drill his tank for the first time.

morgan175 July 10, 2014 Author Share July 10, 2014 700 gph Overflow Box Complete Kit $79.00 Just wondering if this the right one for my tank? Has anyone bought this and can recommend it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan175 September 11, 2014 Author Share September 11, 2014 It's been a while. I am on a budget with two tanks. I had a few problems which I had to solve. Started the sump my first. Will be drilling Sunday and adding two returns. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT September 11, 2014 Share September 11, 2014 Good luck with drilling. I used a glass holes kit for my tank, easy to do and it looks good. Did you get the extra cover for the overflow? I really recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really recommend it. I guess I will have to make a special order. Has anyone tried a jebao dc3000? I figure this will be the right size for the tank. .

morgan175 September 29, 2014 Author Share September 29, 2014 Our first holes. The only thing I learned I like lowes drill bits a lot better. I paid more but it just went smoothly. Drilled total of 4 holes. One in sump 3 in display. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan175 October 6, 2014 Author Share October 6, 2014 I put Teflon tape around the threaded elbow and screwed into bulk head and after doing a test both were leaking. Does anyone have the answer. I wrapped the tape around three times. I was thinking Teflon and a little silicon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobB89 October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 I like the liquid tape. Recto seal you can get it at Lowes home depot in the plumbing section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz0id3937 October 8, 2014 Share October 8, 2014 Teflon tape is very thin. I only did about 3-4 wraps and my bulkhead had a slow leak. I rewrapped it like 10+ times and it was good after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
