Default Bulkhead Sizes. Need help.
I FINALLY got a real stand for my 75 gallon show ( 60x18x18 ) turtle tank. I want to drill it out for the wet/dry I bought.

I think I want a 1.5" drillbit, 3/4" bulkhead, and 1" pipe. Is this right? I haven't done this in a long while.

Also can I use a wood hole saw on an acrylic tank?

Thanks in advance,

matt

it's a 1 3/4" hole for a 1" bulkhead. That should give you a 1" pipe

I'm not sure of the drill bit. But I think you need something with smaller teeth

Use a Dremel if you have one.

No dremel here.
Funny thing, I just did a search on the net and found my old post.
