    Building a drainage system! What do you think!?!

    a hole in a surface only weakens the surface that is at a twice the diameter of the hole. So if you put a 1/2 inch hole in the glass the surface will only be waeker at a distance of 1 inch away from the hole. Sorry that is the engineer in me;)

    heater for mistking

    I have a 300 gallon reef tank and an Ebo-Jager 300 watt can heat the up to the point it will kill all the fish and be very warm to the touch. I think one of these in a 5 gallon reservoir would heat it pretty quick.
