Check out my new overflow boxes for my 120 Oceanic

My neighbor just made them for me today. He has a CNC machine in work that he used to make them. I'm going to silicone them on each side of the glass center brace...going to save lots of room with these

organicreefer,

No not yet. I'm still waiting to get the tank drilled before siliconing in the overflow boxes. The tank will be drilled this week...5 total holes, two drain line, two closed loops, and one holes for the return line.

I'll post picks probably Friday night...most likely have them installed by then.

Question !!?!?!?!?!?

I will built my overflows too, but IO want to know the dimmensions of the holes that have the following form:


UUUUUUUU

I will paste with silicone my overflow box, but I don´t know the correct size and it is very important because after I paste it I wouldn´t adjust the level, so I must be very esact on that holes.

Thanks in advance and sorry to bring back this threat again.
