Actually, I cut off 1/2 of the bottom! The top already has threaded fittings - why not use them? My barrel sits upside down plumbed to an old iwaki pump for circulation and to pump the water to the tanks on water change day. The piece I cut off I hinged back on using a couple pieces of plastic milk jug and nylon nuts and bolts. The hinges break every couple years -takes 5 minutes to replace them - the barrel has been in service since at least 1990.
