Where to get tank drilled

[lusenut2]

I have a 55 gal tank I want to make my new filter. I need to get a 1 inch hole drilled for my pump. I remember a thread on here about a place here in Orlando that does it for a desent price. Anyone know where I can go?

Heres the thread I started, I ended up finding someone locally in deland, but have heard nothing but good things about this place.

Thanks, I just called them and there closed until after new years. I wanted to get my new pump up and running this weekend. If I go buy a glass drill bit, is it hard to mess things up and break the glass.

Ive heard it can be daunting, but if you buy the bit you can practice on my 20L, no hard feelings if it breaks, at least youd have one practice hole I also found volusia glass and mirror to do mine, but it might take a day or two, which is a long drive for you to make twice.

where do you get the overflows for the main tank after you get it drilled?

 

[flfirefighter13]

Im sure someone sells the megaflow ones but a little acrylic work and some plumbing and you can make one youreself, check the DIY forum for ideas

I just ordered a overfllow from marine depot. It was a little expensive but its nice. Once I finally get my filter drilled I will get to see how it works. lol
