90g african build thread

[reefling]

I have a 90g oceanic 4' tank, stand and canopy. The other day I went to visit my parents and collected a couple hundred pounds of holey rock(way more than I need), I got 2 bags of pfs. I have stained and refinished the stand and redone the silicon. My next step is to drill it. What is the most quiet method? Any tips on how to build a fake tree trunk or something? I want this to be seamless as the tank and stand now look show quality. O, my filter is an aquaclear wet/dry.

I looked around and saw gl*******s' design and i think i will copy that. i already have an old overflow box. i will use the inside of that and some bulkhead fittings from the garage.

Not sure who you were referring to as gl*******, but as far as the tree trunk, I'd recommend against a fake one unless it's part of a 3D background, and those can be expensive. Do you have links to pics of what you're trying to achieve?

Take pics as you build your tank. I love to see tank build threads with pics! I think most people do.

Glassh*les... It edited that... Lol. I have a part of an overflow box that I am going to attach like on glassh0les.com. I just need to find bulkhead fittings in my garage. I got a bag of them and don't know where they went. When I can get around to it on the PC, I will post some pics. It does not work from my phone for some reason.

Dont really know of a quiet method...I just put the hole saw to the glass and spend a hr drilling holes. Just take you time and dont rush. hmmmmm, fake tree trunk....now that sounds tricky and time consuming....but yea...pix of build...we are visual people.

Please tell me something got lost in the translation. Using the letter "o" in place of the "*" and "0" sent me to a XXX rated site. I didn't stick around long enough to see if that site was showing pictures of fake tree trunks!
