Drilled 75gallon for 60 buck?
Someone on CL has a drilled 75 gallon tank for 60 bucks but it only has one hole in it. How many GPH could this handle if it is 1 inch and also if I wanted to add any holes to the tank would that be too hard to do?

1 inch hole I think can handle 600 GPH. That may be wrong but I'm pretty sure thats right.
Getting it drilled again shouldnt be any probs at all. #1 you know (well pretty certain its not been tempered) that it is can be drilled. Where is the hole located at do youknow? The price is a good price. Theres a great local forum for your area. LMAS.org i think is the link. Theres also several ppl on RC from your area that can help you if you need it drilled again.

Its worth it. I cant tell if those are scratches on it or not though. Also might ask the owner of it for a water testfor leaks and see if its ever been treated with copper or other chemicals.

Inspect the seams.. also check the hole where the bulkhead is inserted. Looks like a DIY job and it can be hiding a crack somewhere..
