Stupid question?

[hhughes]

Since I'm tearing down my 55, I went searching for a nanocube. My preference was the 24g but I ended up finding the 28g with a free stand for less, so that's what I got.

Now I have it, it's assembled, full of salt water with a few rocks and some sand, and it's looking great.

But.

I want to add a powerhead or two. I've got a couple of small koralias I can use, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to run a cord down into this tank, since the top fits so snugly. I was just about to take a pair of shears to the back bit of the lid when I thought hey, maybe I'm being stupid, and there's some trick to this.

Is there?

You could always get a Vortech MP10 and you wouldn't have cords to worry about... you know, just sayin.

Seriously, though, every one I've seen has had the lid notched for the cords.

No notches in mine at all :-/. But there are a few spots that look like they might be notch friendly if I make my own.

 

[cr500_af]

I meant DIY notches, sorry.

 

[hhughes]

Oh!

Well now I feel even less like an idiot

If you have a rotary tool I'd get a grinding bit that will make nice smooth notches. If you don't have a rotary tool you could get a rotary tool and do the same thing! Everyone needs a dremel!

I'll see if I can find our ancient dremel and make it do one last job ;-)
