I would like to drill my tank. Is there any way to know if the sides of the tank are not tempered? I know the bottom pane is and i cant drill it. I want to drill the top of the back anyways. My basic question is what kind of flow rate would i get with a 3/4" drain and a 3/4" return? Im looking at close to a 10x+ filter turn over rate with this pump. http://www.petmountain.com/product/water-pumps/500549/mag-drive-9.5-950gph.html Even with a 4'head im at 900gph which would give me a 12x rate. So with a 3/4 drain and return wil that be sufficent. I chose 3/4 because that is the out let on the pump. I would really like to drill my tank because i can see it from 3 sides and i really think it would clean up the look. Im thinking that 3/4 is to small for a drain, so i was thinking 2 3/4 drains but i didnt know then if id be draining faster than my pump could return???? Any help?
Also what kinda pipe and pipe glue do you use? looks to me like its the normal sc40 white stuff with regular old pipe cleaner and glue?
