Does anyone have experience drilling an aquarium for bulkheads to attach to EXTERNAL plumbing?
I've watched so many videos of GORGEOUS natural looking aquariums on YouTube, and it seems they all are drilled and externally plumbed. That way there's minimal tubing inside the tank. I would like to upgrade Mille (my 3 footed Mississippi mud turtle) from a 40 gallon breeder to a 55 gallon tank, and have a more naturalistic habitat (yes, I fantasize about giving her a glamor tank! ). Just so you know, being a mud turtle and missing her right front foot makes Mille a NON-SWIMMER. I MUST keep her water at 3-3.5 inches depth throughout her tank so that she can comfortably stand on the sand and lift her head to the surface of the water.
I've watched YouTube videos about this: you CANNOT drill tempered glass, etc.
But I always feel better discussing things with real people before embarking on something new!
