VERY don't even think twice, just go for it!   go slow on the first one and the rest you can blow through like nothing once you're comfortable ]]> Fri, 31 Mar 2006 19:57:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11356&PID=105549&title=drilling-acrylic#105549 <![CDATA[drilling acrylic : OK... well....

OK... well.... I guess it's anchors away.   It is such a beautiful refugium.  Acrylic is forgiving, right?

I don't think I knew that.  It doesn't really matter, I was just going to measure them after I got them and then pick the right drill bit.  I don't know what hole sizes are needed for what sized bulkheads off the top of my head.

I agree with everything Dave has said... well except for the measure twice cut once.  What fun is there in that! ]]> Fri, 31 Mar 2006 19:29:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11356&PID=105541&title=drilling-acrylic#105541 <![CDATA[drilling acrylic : i&#039;m so lost... those eyeballs...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11356&PID=105533&title=drilling-acrylic#105533 Author: dnellans

1.25 isn't big enough for a 1 inch bulkhead.... are you using 3/4 inch bulkheads on your closed loop now adam? =p]]> Fri, 31 Mar 2006 18:10:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11356&PID=105519&title=drilling-acrylic#105519 <![CDATA[drilling acrylic : I just use my hole saw and drill...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11356&PID=105514&title=drilling-acrylic#105514 Author: Adam Blundell

I just use my hole saw and drill away.  I'm usually drilling 1.25" holes and it is pretty easy.
