Versatop Modification Q's

Post by PinchersAndShells » Thu Jan 05, 2017 10:32 am

Can the plastic pieces on Versatops be drilled into (instead of cut) to make a hole for aquarium tubing to go through?

I don't see why not. That's what I'm working on with my current one. I cut my last one, and it was just insanely difficult and not worth it. Drill for me!

Thanks, I wasn't sure if drilling it would break the plastic or not.

It shouldn't, start with a small bit and go slowly.

I would think if you went slow it would be okay. I know you can buy those plastic strips if it doesn't work.
