I know what you mean by slow. I have been working on a DIY sump/fuge for months now. Just got it up and running on the weekend. So far...no floods, no divorce...hehe.

Did you drill any holes in your sump/fuge? I need to get a hole or 2 drilled in my sump, would rather take it somewhere as I don't feel like doing it myself. Do you know of any place in town that drills holes?

I didn't drill any holes in my sump because I was too nervous to go that way. I suspect that Okanagan glass (on 29th right beside Complete Pet Mart) would do it. They cut out the glass tops and such that I had made.

If you do plan on cutting it yourself, Princess Auto in Kelowna has a good deal on diamond hole saws.

Okanagan glass is really bad.

ARe they? I used them for convenience as I would be going in and out of the pet store. They did two panels of glass for me, same day service for $6 apiece. Seemed like a decent deal at the time.

I have asked them about tanks before and they said they don't build them anymore because of the liability.

They didnt build my tank but they cut the glass for it and i told them its for a fish tank so it has to be square and cut to the right size no more no less.. long store short ended up finding a bunch of messed up peices brought them back to be re cut drove all the way home and they were unsquare and not the right dimentions

Hey Gools,

I'm not sure I recognize that name. Again, I didn't work in the electrical division so although I met a lot of electricians during my work, I didn't always get to know them by name.

My name is Mark by the way. How did the work on the GCFI go?
