skimmer drain

Recommended Posts

I got a cheapo skimmer from albany aquariums but the collection cup is small and has overflowed 2 times. what kind of bit do i need and what kind of bulkhead/fitting to run an airline drain out of the cup? I am assuming the cup is acrylic like the skimmer body. all help is appreciated. thanks.

Its just a screw in fitting. A small holesaw would be the best. They have them both at HD. Remember though when you do drill it you leave yourself open to draining your tank when it overflows again. :)
