Hey guys after using a standard overflow box but not being able to find a aqua lifter anywhere and then doing a DIY overflow but still find myself paranoid about it failing I finally got a polarized filter and check my tank for tempered glass. The front panel because it's a bow front and the bottom panel are both tempered however the back and sides are not. We're both 3 weeks behind having this setup for the kids and myself I'm wondering if anyone has the bit and would like to drill the tank for me. Or one last time does anyone have a collector that I could use for my DIY stuff

Yeah I am. We must’ve met before? Lol I have two of the three things you need. I should have an aqua lifter out in the mess of crap in the garage. And I should have a drill set. I haven’t looked at them for a while but they should be in the fish room. You are welcome to have the aqua lifter or borrow the drills but I don’t have a third thing.. I have no time to help :(

Thank you sir I'll try and get it sorted out today if I can if I can get out to Cliff's house I'll just grab both from him if not I'll have to get it sorted out some other way. And then what do I need after that just a bulkhead and an elbow I've already built a return line

Use lots of water while drilling and take your time! It is actually really easy.
