Dam $20 a hole, I might start a tank drilling company.
I have drilled my tanks before and will be drilling my

I just received my two hole saw to drill my prop tank. I will keep my toes crossed as I drill......

 

[bawla47]

hey, i dont think there is anywhere that would guarentee it down here.

ya the stores across the street from that place lol.

its been there a LONG time. you should check it out. thereres a massive frogspawn coral in there display, bigger then a vollyball.

its not that hard to do, just make sure u use a lot of water and take ur time.

 

[illal]

well i definitly dont wanna do it myself...whats my best bet u say that place by the sex store???

don't forget.....you will probably be drilling the back side of the tank.....anything thats usually above th 29 gallon marker has tempered bottoms and drilling that is about a 90% chance or above of a definite shatter...

good luck..

 

[illal]

well its a 125g is it possible it cant be drilled at all?

 

[Miamireefer]

yes by the backside....it's not tempered.... you can make a caflo style overflow.

Drilled my sump today.....two holes, the output from the skimmer and return from the sump.
Went very well, slow is the way to go.

Drilled Glass Yesterday It was easy! I drill a 1/4" thick

 

[illal]

yea im still not drilling mine myself ... i paid like $800 for the tank and stand a few years back and if it brakes then there goes my 125g reef dreams

 

[REDDAWG43]

illal....good lick trying to find someone to guarentee thier drilling down here.

Buy drill bits from ebay. Buy a piece of glass and drill it a few times. Once you see how easy it is.

yea i had heard a while back that they dont gaurentee it but i figured it wouldnt hurt to ask
