20Gal w/overflow available

[Fish]

This is for the aquarium pictured in this photo:
(glass only. livestock, rock, and kid not included)




I modified this tank myself, cutting the overflow, adding an overflow box with two 1" bulkheads, and black acrylic to the back wall.




I was nervous of one of my kids hitting the 5mm glass with something while I was at work so I had IA build me the same tank with thicker glass. I built this according to Tunjee's thread on Reef Central. The project cost was about $120. I will let it go for either of the following:

- credit towards an AquaC Remora skimmer
- any skimmer better than a seaclone
- a coral frag
- eternal gratitude

Let me know if you need more info or pics

How did you cut out the glass?

it looks like dremel on the sides and glass cutter for the long straight edge. am i close???

[Fish]

That woulda been the quick/smart way to do it. Actually I did the whole job (bulkhead holes too) with a diamond bit on a dremmel. I did the cutting outside with a thin stream of water from the garden hose running over it as I worked.

Chad
sorry to hijack your post but how long did it take to cut through all that?

[Fish]

I don't mind at all
I think the long cut probably took half an hour and each of the bulkheads 20 minutes. The glass on a standard 20gal is 5mm - I'm sure it would take a lot! longer if you were cutting 1/2" glass. I could track down the part number for the dremmel bit if you would like (it was about $15). Or you could even borrow mine.

Cheers,
