What bigger hole? You lost me somehow

yungreefer2410 · 01-24-2009, 05:21 PM

its predrilled one of the holes is bigger then the other. is this supposed to be the return hole?

Jeremy0322 · 01-24-2009, 05:27 PM

oh...well thats curious...hmmm....I would probably use the larger hole for the overflow and the smaller one for the return, because you will be pushing water through it whereas the overflow will just be free flowing water, but thats just what makes sense in my head...and sometimes that isnt completely right! But atleast the question makes sense to me now...haha

yungreefer2410 · 01-24-2009, 06:37 PM

ok that makes sense. well hd didn't have bulkheads

were going to a local hardware store on like monday. but at least i got the 2x4 so i can widen the stand

Mya · 01-24-2009, 06:53 PM

Work!

Jeremy0322 · 01-24-2009, 06:58 PM

I ordered my bulkheads online, so I dont really know where would carry them. I would look for a store that specialized in plumbing maybe, i dont remember seeing them at lowes or home depot.

yungreefer2410 · 01-24-2009, 07:23 PM

lol i'm going to tomorrow. should of got a new saw blade while i was there durn

Jeremy0322 · 01-24-2009, 07:24 PM

what are you sawing?

yungreefer2410 · 01-25-2009, 09:30 PM

wood. but it was for the wireless saw. my corded saw blade is fine

yungreefer2410 · 02-01-2009, 07:26 PM

both saws need new blades but the wireless is sharper

. anyway i cut all the wood i could today. my dad went to take back a movie and said he would pick up my wood too. that was like 3hours ago. i'll call him and see whats up

yungreefer2410 · 02-02-2009, 06:18 PM

ok heres a crappy pic of my newly widen stand. still not done yet. also i have a new cordless saw and its rocks! its really quiet too. heres the pic

yungreefer2410 · 02-10-2009, 11:18 PM

okay still need to pick up some plywood and those bulkheads. okay i have decided on my main fish aka first priority. i will be having a regal angelfish in here. i am talking with michael (aka angel man and butterfly boy

) about this. he will be added after 6 months or so most likely. also will prob be the first fish in the tank. anyway i thought i would update yall on my plans

Dentoid · 02-10-2009, 11:43 PM

yungreefer2410 · 02-10-2009, 11:55 PM

Jeremy0322 · 02-11-2009, 12:04 AM
