I am setting up a refugium and want to have it sit a little above my tank with the return going into the refugium and then overflowing back into the main tank. So before I go drill a 20g tank I was wondering if anyone has one lying around they would sell (10-30 gallone would be best).
Thanks and if I spelled 'refugium' wrong I don't want to know...

I had one.. but left it out in the snow and broke the bottom out of it :(

I just put 4 holes in a 20L and it only took about an hour start to finish. I bet if you bring it to the meeting we can help you drill it (if you don't want to do it yourself).

Does someone bring drillbits to the meetings, because strangely i have been trying to do the same thing with a 20g for like a month now and still havent drilled it. I would gladly pay someone to drill it for me though...

MY bit is for 1" bulkheads, but is somewhat dull after all the holes I drilled. It was a cheapie from eBay ($30 i think). Elmers wants $25 a hole, so I saved a lot of money.

And, i called elmers and they are no longer drilling holes. Do not know the reasoning behind it, but they no longer drill.

You can get a hole drilled at All Oddball Aquatics, they do a great job. I think it was $15 per hole. They use a drill press to cut them. They are in Baldwin/brentwood.
