Hello everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well. So my water level in my 200g in just a smidge higher than I would've liked. I need to lower it by just under an inch. I am using a modular marine overflow box. I've already contacted them and waiting for a reply. But I suspect that they will tell me I have to get a full overflow box replacement. I don't think it's worth for just 1 in difference for the level.
So plan B would be to drill the slots just a bit lower. What would be the best tool for the job. I can remove the overflow from the tank its not yet filled. I have a miter saw. Can I use it to make the tiny slits longer? I can use a Dremel also. I don't have a router but I am willing to buy one if it gets the job done. I've read a thread here talking about melting the acrylic longer with a soldering iron, will that work also? There's a couple of options here just wondering which one will get the job done cleaned and without cracking the acrylic.
