Joe Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I was planning a cold water tank with this. But with the way things are going it could be a couple years before I could get to it and this stuff is just sitting here collecting dust. $275 for it all. $150 for the tank only Dimensions 24x23.5x9 $50 for the pump only (never used) $100 for the chiller only Located in Sidney, Ohio 45365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 @Muttley000 just did the calculations. It’s closer to 20 gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchute85 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hmm I am tempted, but really want to use a sump. Do you have experience drilling acrylic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it can be done though. You could always use a hob overflow if you didn’t want to drill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have experience drilling acrylic? its not that difficult. there are specific bits for acrylic so it doesnt melt while you are drilling. I have only drilled one acrylic tank and the directions i was given from a buddy is to make a pilot hole then use a small bit, then go up a size, then go up a size and keep doing this until you get to the size hole you are looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Heat is for sure the problem. Google template routing a hole, that is the way I would do it myself if you were talking over 1” bulkhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truxer Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I expanded the overflows on a 180 peninsula and added a closed loop circulation using normal hole saw. Heat was not an issue, but I did have to purchase a pilot bit that enabled me to run two hole saws at the same time. The inner was the same as existing hole, the outer was new hole for increased flow. Just my two cents, the acrylic was 3/4", I just went slowly and would stop every minute just to be safe. It isn't that difficult if you plan and take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
