OMG, drilling glass holes in perfectly good tanks for the first time is nerve wracking
I did 4 test holes on some scrap. Then 1 hole in a Chaeto tank, 1 in a new water tank and 1 of 2 in the sump.
I had to take a break before I rush the last sump hole :drinking:
And although more could be said, I'll leave it up to the more brave members to do so :mrgreen:
couple years ago i whent to cut a pieceof glass re purposed from an old 10g ignoring a red sticker on it. scored it whent to snap it... needless to say my wife wasnt happy with the 100 tiny pieces of glass on our living room floor

I just did an even 'stupider' thing ... and this probably should be in the lounge ...
I had the hole locations marked out with tape, drilled the first one, and took a break.
I started drilling the second one, and, thankfully, noticed it didn't look right :nono:
I scored the inside of the sump, but not enough to worry about, right where the bubble trap goes :frusty:
I only went in about 1/16", so I'm just going to ignore it and possibly put a plate over it on the inside. But now it won't be really clean looking Grrr
At least it's on the inside
Not that I need a :hug:, but I wanted everything perfect
Crap, this is going to eat at me

Well, I guess it's no worse than other things the rest of us have done.
Like I said, at least I can save the sump.

Now, if this is not a popular consensus amongst the members, I'd be willing to re-open the discussion with the rest of the team and see what we come up with.

I just figured everyone would like to see deals offered, even if it isn't from a "contributing" member...
I'm happy with new people posting deals for me :mrgreen: gives more selection to choose from.

I have to agree here. Why would you not allow it...we are already a clicky forum. I see it as the place to come even if it is only once to sell off stuff. And ultimately you have the option of buying or not. So I say yes to newcomers, and no to discrimination. :biggrin:

Hmm.. duly noted!

Denny not sure what happened there to provoke such anger/frustration but it makes me feel sad to read that .. hope the coming days go better for you and I hope Canreef continues to benefit from your presence here ..
