I got the return line drilled and the overflow weir is cut into the tank so here you go!

Hey how did you cut out your overflow, I see you drilled 2 holes then did you just use a glass etch to go between or did you use the drem with a bit to cut it out? Details as I'm in the process of building a Nano and I am scratching my head how I'm going to create the overflow.

I drilled two holes with a glass hole saw only because i wanted smooth corners and it think it looks better, then i used my dremel with glass cutting wheel to slowly cut out the over flow from the holes, you can see in one of the pictures im cutting the overflow into the back.

Im going to post the rest of the overflow right now so read on to see what i did

[yellowworld]

So I decided to drill the holes for my overflow and put together the plumbing for it, after some thinking and some cutting to make it all work in a small space, this is what i have so far

[yellowworld]

Today I got quite a bit of stuff done, I got the glass for the overflow cut and put together, I picked up a peice of black acrylic to put inside the tank as a background to cover everyything up and i got the plumbing all together for the backside of the tank









More to come as it all goes together tonight

Can you spot the snooper??

This tanks putting the space shuttle to shame , it is a fancy piece of kit. Looks like youve been thinking about this for a while , its going to be epic.

hahaha thank you very much! I have been mauling it over now for about 5 months as to how im going to do things, the wave box was a big stumper for how i was going to get it to work and work well

That's pretty cool, good luck with the rest of the build!

[yellowworld]

I did some more work today and got the wavebox covered up







Then i couldnt wait any longer and the minute i had finished my overflow I get it all wet to see how it would work and let me tell you, it went just swimmingly!! take a look

















and last but not least...VIDEO PROOF THAT IS REALLY HAPPENED
