Looks nice. Good opportunity to do a DIY on how to drill a tank!

I wish i would have done one when i drilled my 39. I used the 'herbie method' on mine and love it. Total of 3 holes. Cant wait till its livestock time!

I ordered a glass holes 1500gph overflow, so 2 holes for that, and a hole for a 1" return, for a total of three. I'll take some pics/vids.

That's a very nice rimless. What type of lights are you going to use with it

 

[mr_X]

Well, I have a 48" x 24", eight lamp T5 fixture with brand new ATI lamps in it. A perfect fit
I sold off the LEDs with the tank, so I'm gonna run them for the next 8 months or so, then go from there.

Very nice. I would be afraid to drill a tank way my luck is would crack.

 

[Stlrockguy]

Yea sounds like they'll do the job

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Do you plan on getting more taotronic panels?

 

[mr_X]

Probably. It's well over a hundred dollars every time I replace these T5 lamps, plus, using the Tao's would cut the electric usage in half.

Looks great X, I love the rimless look, so clean and sharp. Waiting to see updates!

I'm still waiting on my Glass Holes overflow. Not much to tank about until that comes...
