New 55 Build....

[phuture1]

Here we go guys. I dug out my spare 55gal. out of the basement and ran it over to the LFS to get drilled. it wasn't bad $10 to drill a hole for my overflow. i would have done it myself but the bit cost $45 and i was a little scared to do it. after i saw how easy it was i took the tank home and drilled a hole for my return line with a tile holesaw i had laying around. perfect for a 1/2" bulkhead. i have to say, it was very easy to drill a hole in the tank. tomorrow i'll start working on the plumbing and get some pics up.
