Rick thanks for the link! I have never worked with fiberglass do you know if these are easily drilled for bulk head fittings?

jrsp12,
I have one of these tanks and put 3 bulkheads in it. Very easy to do , but I recommend wearing gloves as the fiberglass "dust" can leave you really itching. I would also be careful where you place the bulkheads. The bottoms and mid-sides are relatively thin, so if you put them in the wrong location, I'm sure it's possible to compromise the integrity of the tank.

I brought the camera to work today to get some new pics and never had time to even get it out of the truck. I will try soon.

Those Fiberglass Troughs are awsome!!!

What do you use to drill it with?.. Could you drill it on one of the 24" sides near the top????


BTW: awsome greenhouse setup! I really like it!

I just use a regular hole saw.

I have drilled them in the bottom or the ends, about 1/2 way up. I had some new ones made recently that are much stronger. They are 4'x8'x12".
