I think he was referring to the green grass in the video. We haven't seen it for a while now.

He was talking about the grass in the background.

You would attach the overflow box using silicone caulk for aquariums and then use a Bulkhead to attach the plumbing through the glass.

Also, you can use some squeeze clamps to clamp a piece of wood (like a chunk of 2x4) to the glass under where you are drilling so you get a clean cut all the way through. You won't get the "chip" marks that I got if you do it that way when the drill cuts the plug out.


Have a great day!

Cool, nice tip... Yeah, I live in Phoenix, so there isn't much green grass here.... unless you REALLY take care of it and water it plenty.....

Sent you a PM.

I don't remember the brand, though it was around $80 and it was a 1-3/4" bit for a 1" BH.


Have a great day!
