    That wouldn't be so bad then..

    Have you ever seen the inside of a Glass-Holes box? I thought it was just a box with a bulkhead fitting in it but I was definitely wrong. There is a little lid inside, it's hard to explain.. It's definitely a lot quieter with that.

    I'm a big fan of G-H... just saying.

    I will swear on their product. They have fine tuned it to be quiet and work well. it comes with all the necessary parts that are needed for making it go smoothly. Bulkhead ($15) drill bit ($10) Black street Elbow ($5) gaskets ($5) black acrylic ($15) custom work and routing the overflow teeth ($time).. Once you see it in your hands you will be happy. Once you have it hooked up and running, you will be happier..

    nice.. be sure to enjoy the surprise they send along with the package.. Not to mention read the instructions and follow them to a T, you will laugh the whole time.

    I have installed four gl*******s boxes and two return kits. Beware. You have to Thoroughly test before you put them in to service. PITA is exactly what these kits are. I tinker and tinker to get all of the seals to not leak and as soon as I put fish in I find more leaks to seal. But hey, that's why it is a hobby. That being said, pre-drilled reef-ready tanks are the way to go.

    That is the first negative review I think I have ever see for Glass Holes. I installed one myself and so far no problems. Everything went according to their instructions (hilarious BTW). I will be sure to watch mine for leaks tho knowing that they have some issues.
