DIY Over the top Drain
« on: May 28, 2010, 04:55:55 PM »
Does anyone have plans for a reliable over the top drain system?

I do not want to drill my tank so need something that works

Gerry, if Mitchreef doesnt have some plans as he is one of the DIYers on here Im sure we can find you quite a few elsewhere. Im under the assumption (and you know what they say about that) is that most DIY ones arent auto restart in case of a power outage. But there is some extremely bright people on MRK and Im sure someone will have what you want.

May I ask why you would not like to drill? Im always curious about that one, reasons are wide ranging so I always ask.
What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss

in my opinion the over the top drains end up being a bigger headache than actually drilling the glass. if it were me i would def drill the glass. way easier than it looks plus the guys at glass-holes have some killer stuff and are always a pleasure to deal with.
as cool as aquarium nerds can get.
