Plumbing/drilling etc help
 

Ok, so after completely ruining a 55g tank by trying to do stuff that I have no knowledge about, this time I'm looking for some help. I've got a 33g long (48x13x12) on the way and I am going to get it drilled. Now I have been trying to search up plans but there is not much that I can understand. Now this time the drilling will be done by a glass shop. What size of hole do I get drilled? I am going to have a 20g standard sump. The quietest most Dumass proof type of plumbing is what I want. My problem is I have no clue where to start

drilling
 

start with your bulkhead sizes.what size drain,returns etc.also are you going to have a herbie,bean animal,stockman,or durso drain

Just buy my pre drilled 33g long tank... Alot easier

I would like to use herbie style because it seems to be the quietest

I would definitely go with herbie. Come by this weekend & compare both tanks' sounds. Make sure you also invest in a good gate valve. Maybe also check out spit.fire's already drilled tank.
