and also make sure to do this in a well ventulated area outside is best after a couple hrs you can bring it in.Now i will let it sit for 48hrs rinse it real good with a lite vinager and water,drill the whole and ill be ready for the next stage.Ok i admit everyone can see the tank next to it well it was a finished one but i dropped the mag pump i am using into it and it cracked the bottom oops lol.
