3" hole!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
yeah, im bringing my tank to toronto to get it drilled tomorow, but my one bulkhead for my barracuda pump (2") requires a three inch hole, the guys im taking it too (best in the area,, im travelling four hours to get to them...) dont have that size.
I just need advice, like do i have to split the intake in between like 2-1" bulkheads or something, or can i just have like a 1.5" bulkhead and just make the pipe bigger?
Newb question i know, but i thought these guys would have been able to drill that......
Thnx for any advice
(BTW perfecto doesnt temper the sides of their tanks right?? I bought the thing mid-summer so i cant remember)
Thxn for replys

running a 3600
gph pump on that bulkhead
I actually think the site i got the BH's from posted it wrong, it said for the 2" bulkhead it says it needs a 3" hole. Meaning the plastic is like .5" thick (methinx not)
2.5" should work im hoping
