@cameronh I picked up some plumbing stuff!

@cameronh How would I plumb this? Im totally stuck lol. Would I have a piece glued into the middle that stays there, then have an elbow connect to the back and a nozzle connect to the front?

Is there a way that I can sand the acrylic or drill it since its already attached? I need the hole a little bigger.

Yeah man you can make the hole a little bigger, you can either sand it or drill it. Just be careful

@cameronh I made some progress today. I finished the stand, and I picked up the kessil! All I have to do now is get the pump.

Awesome dude! That's gonna be a sweet little frag tank!

Ok will do. I cant wait to set it up!! Also when I trimmed up the acrylic glue stuff it left a residue. What can I use to get rid of this?
