Good By Saltwater
Its a sad day here..
We decided to take down the 90 gal saltwater tank.
It will be no more!
I have moved everything to the grow out tank.
We will be putting up a 180 gal fresh water planted tank!

New Glass
After the fiasco the other day.
I went down and got a new piece of glass price $14.00.
I’d drilled the hole for the bulkhead before I put the glass in the tank.
It took all of about 6 1/2 minutes to drill the hole.
With the drill bit I got it was simple to do.
Just take your time and remember you’re not drilling
your grinding a hole.
Was all of this worth it.
Very much so, the higher flow rate and I don’t have to worry about
DIY overflows failing and that has happened not very often but it has happened.
It’s just this sweet deal.
The only thing I have to say about drill holes make sure that the glasses not tampered!

Drilling Glass
OK I got my 60mm Diamond hole saw from eBay.
Unplugged everything, took the canopy off.
Drain the half the water out.
Marked for the bulkhead.
I am set to drill!
Well it looks like that glass was TEMPERED.
What a mess!
I found out after the fact that there is a way to tell if the glass is tempered or not by using a pair of polarized sun glasses. You can get em cheap at like walmart or whatever, Anyways when you look at tempered glass through them on an angle you will be able to see a diamond pattern. If the glass is not tempered you will see no pattern.
