I'm going to be doing some modifications to my plumbing, and I need a 1 1/16" hole saw to do them. It does NOT need to be diamond tipped, as I am only drilling through plastic, not glass. Let me know if you have one I can use.

Thanks,
~Brian

I'll check when I get home. If it's a one time use type thing and you don't have luck here try harbor frieght. Can usually get cheap inexpensive tools there. They haqve a store on Cleveland ave and 161

Ok, cool. I just need to make 2 holes in the plastic divider of the nano cube. I'm planning on doing it Tuesday or Wednesday when I move my tank. I'm guessing home depot or lowes might have something if all else fails, but I thought I'd check here first. When I move my tank, I'm going to hard plumb my scwd in (currently its a very messy looking plumbing job).

Thanks,

just make sure it's easily removable for maint. heard they need tweaked and cleaned every so often.

Strangely enough, I haven't had to clean mine in the 4-5 months I've had it. Usually when there's a problem, its a clogged pump. I still will need to get to the pump though...

Also, do you know if you have the 1 1/16" yet? If not, do you have a 1 1/8"? It looks like Home Depot and Lowes don't have the 1 1/16 (according to their websites), so I'll probably have to settle for 1 1/8", because I don't want to have to have it shipped at this point in time.

Thanks,

I ended up getting a 1 1/8" and using that. The 1 1/16" seems to only be available if you order it online, but the 1 1/8" worked out fine.
