Mist King Installation and Evaluation

Don,

You want to use a diamond drill bit. The only local place I have found them are at Lowes. Otherwise you can find them on the internet.

I would connect each tank's nozzles inline and use a manifold for multiple tanks.

The manifold should give equal pressure to all lines where if you just ran one line for all tanks you would have less pressure at the far nozzles. For the nozzles in one tank I think you could probably do 3 or 4 no problem off one line.

Thanks Mike
The Ultimate system has a no drip piece which I haven't read up on yet but it has you run the nozzles in series and then back to the main line just before the pump. It connects to the power supply also so I wonder if this is what assists in keeping the pressure up.

I'll check out Lowes for the size bit I will need. Comfortable drilling plexiglass but never drilled through glass.

Do some research on the web on drilling glass. One place I lurk is reefcentral.com. It is a saltwater website that has tons of information.

One way to drill glass you build a dam around the location you want to drill. Fill it with water and then with the drill lightly press the bit onto the glass. Just let the bit drill through the hole and keep the bit and glass covered with water. Also place a towel below the hole to catch the glass as it falls. I would cover the towel with something disposable so you just throw the whole thing away.
