new tank

[deschlayer]

I just got a 75G Oceanic so i will be working on getting that up and running :) just wanted to let people know cause I am wicked happy about it.. the stand is in ruff shape but "I think she'll buff out" I was wondering how I would drill a hole in the bottom? do I need to use something special

[wiszmaster]

keep it wet & cool when drilling the bottom .. i believe a diamond whole saw would do best, but better do research

you can always take it to a glass/mirror shop & i'm sure they'll do it. (as long as the bottom isn't tempered)

PLEASE MAKE SURE BOTTOM IS NOT TEMPERED!

on another note you keeping your 40 up still? I still have that other light fixture I had when you came by it is 2x65w PC you could add to what you bought from me for the 75. I will let it go cheap let me know if you are interested.

99.9999% chance the bottom is tempered. It is usually better to drill holes out the back. A hole on the bottom of anything that holds liquids runs the risk of draining the ENTIRE tank.

If you need a light for it, I have a 2 x 175 MH, 2 x 96PC by PFO Lighting.

how much for the lights? its a retrofit i'm guessing? you can PM me a price if you'd like

[Hobster]

No, its a hood. 48" with glass shield. Can fit on top of the tank or hang. dual PFO Mag ballasts for the MH and dual electric ballast for the 2 x 96 PC. The bulbs are just at 11-12 mths so probably need changing. I added an extra fan.
