local glass drilling?

[sandman12]

Anyone know of someone local that drills glass for a reasonable price?

 

[rrcg50]

coral connections i believe

 

[sandman12]

of course they are closed the two days I'm off this week....

 

[sandman12]

Bought my own bits and going to do it myself...

 

[rrcg50]

let me know how it goes because i want to do mine also. my tank is full though

 

[sandman12]

I drilled this mourning, tank 1 me 0. cracked it at teh very end of drilling. SOB, looking for another 40 breeder again.

 

[SarasotaDiver]

I'm looking for a 40 breeder too! Let me know if you find more than one!

 

[sandman12]

I found one but it is crack . You can have it if you want

 

[obsessed]

Did you use a coolant when you were drilling? I've drilled several and never had one break that I used coolant with.

 

[sandman12]

yes, I followed the glass-holes video.

 

[obsessed]

Wow. Guess I was just lucky.. or something. Did you break bottom, back or end? If you want to get rid of it I might know someone that would be interested.

 

[sandman12]

The guy said i'm a rare case...go figure. I drilled the back, It cracked the second the bit made it through. Who ever wants it can have, would probably make a good sump with some silicone. Of course I would gladly take some frags or a lesson on fish breeding

 

[obsessed]

What kind of fish are you breeding. The only think I bred were clown fish.

 

[sandman12]

would like to get into clowns and bangaiis down the road.

 

[obsessed]

Well, clowns I can give you quite a bit of info on if you find you need help. I got a little too sucessful at getting the little things to live and grow. It turned into an 18 hour a day, 7 days a week job and even though I was able to make a profit I finally gave it up from lack of time. [My husband threatened to go diving without me!!!] I've never tried Benghii but have heard that they are a lot easier because of they are larger to start with. I have a search out for a 40 gallon. I know someone that might be getting rid of one [upgrading]. I'll let you know. Donna

 

[sandman12]

Awesome, well if my clowns start to breed I will get in touch with you. Anything you can do to help/speed the process of mating? Not looking for a 40 anymore (got suckered into a 90g). What dive shop do you use down there?
