the overflow to moving the water from the display tank to the sump, I instead got my tank drilled! I brought my tank out toe the Waste island to "Big Als" where they proceeded to take a drill with a diamond tip circula drill bit works its way through the side of my tank. As a added bonus when there they had just started feeding thier shark (!!) and we got to see this small (3-4 Ft long) shark go to town on a huge chunk of fish.
Here are the pics of the Bulkhead (plastic thingy) in the new hole:
The tank is still a little dirty from the drilling
process. As the water that lubricates the drill bit
becomes full of glass, the glass dust mixes with the water and goes a milky white color. What you see is the residue that I have yet to clean.
This weekend will see the special water filter come into effect which means 50 gallons of water into the tank and more than I would want to think down the drain!
More pictures to come of course and updates with (hopefully) the tank full of water and running!
