Yea maybe a pvc and maybe 1/2 inch bulkheads since your setup is small.

In gonna build one exactly like the one in the video. I like how it looks and all I need to do is get some acrylic. Which I can do next week.

Make sure you pick up some of these when you're getting the acrylic to build this yourself. :shades:

Hey, just btw..I have a eshopps pf-800 hob overflow that I'd sell you for 40 bucks. I used it for less than a month (never lost suction) and ended up buying a bigger tank that was already drilled. I made a modified drain pipe so it's a thousand times quieter. Lmk if you're interested

I know for sure that I have glasses and a phone that do the "tempered" test. And I have a tempered pot lid to prove it. lol
I really hate the hob overflows, but I've never used one for any length of time. (Because it pissed me off over the course of like 2 days)

 

[jdwells]

Yeah that's right! What did we test on? Was it a pot lid?

 

[jdwells]

Oh that's right. And it seemed weird because it was factory drilled.

Factory drilled tanks: The glass is drilled, then it is tempered. Not weird at all.

Can't drill it once it's tempered - so it has to be drilled first.

Oh that makes sense. I guess I would've come to that conclusion if I'd thought about it.
The point is that my test works though. lol
