drilling tank locally

[illal]

wheres the best place to bring my tank to get drilled??? btw im off commercial

 

[titus164]

I talked to a guy at pet world on university who can get it done, like a third party guy or something. I would keep it in mind until a better option comes up though for sure.

What size holes are you looking to drill? I have a diamond hole saw for 1.5 inch bulkheads that I am not going to use.

darn too bad you are in LAKE WORTH i was shopping today for a bit to drill 1.5" holes in my new tank. i did not find one :-(

Ive got a bit to drill a hole for a 1.5" bulkhead Ive actually got a couple of sizes

 

[matt21ocean]

i have the bits for 1/2" 3/4" 1" and 1 1/2" i also drill my own tanks and friends of mine i can drill the tank but i use a huge commercial drill press at work so you would have to bring the tank to me. PM if you’re interested

im just so nervous seeing how i paid so much for the tank (i think $700) ... ive decided i definitly wont try to do it on my own

Call Henry at Reef Aquariums II he has a drill press made for drilling glass and he has a lot of experience.

[illal]

and ive never gotten any of my tanks drilled so im not sure what size holes ill need.... btw this is for my 125g the sump is guna be 55g

 

[TheChief]

1" overflow, 3/4 re-turn?

 

[illal]

well i want 2 overflows and i dont plan on drilling the returns so i want 2 1" holes???

 

[Abengochea]

depending on what flow u want to go through the sump is what will determine the size u will need. heres a calculator http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/drain.php

i think you asked before, coral seas pets on 441 drills them, it was 20 a hole if i remember.


its right by mega___ emporium, the southeast corner of 441 and prospect.

I would always drill a bigger hole you can always make it smaller with a fitting.
