Built some overflows
 
I built 2 overflows for in my tank. I had a old 20g tank that had smoked glass on the back panel. I took the tank apart and here is what I had.

I then cut up all the sizes I wanted using a glass cutter. I got the cutter from Home Depot.

I then used silicone and tape to put them together. Pretty simple...

I'll let them dry, then silicone them into the tank. The smoked glass should cover up my bulkheads and my crack :lol:

if you have a belt sander you can smooth out the tops so you don't cut yourself on thoes when doing maintance.

That's what I was thinking. I also may use the Dremel. Thanks for the thought!
