Need a tank drilled

[BryanF]

I found a great deal on a 150 gallon tank however it is not drilled. I promised myself Id never use an external overflow again however i don't have the skill, tools, or cojones to drill it myself.

Anyone know if any of the local stores will do it and how much they charge?

I know Elite Reef can...not sure on the price/hole though.

Thanks for the recommendation. I called delete today and they drill for $25 per hole but don't have the overflows in stock.

I have a hole saw for 1.5" bulkhead. You can borrow it if you want. It is pretty easy on glass that thick.

I have bulkheads and a holesaw where are you located?

I sure appreciate everyones advice on this.

I'm downtown Denver, something you could step me through? Anyone willing to part with internal overflows for a 150 tall or know where to get one?

Re: Need a tank drilled

You drilling the bottom or sides? If bottom I have a corner overflow box that you could have, its about as tall as a 55 gallon tank.

yea I can but all I have is 2 3/8 holesaw for 1 1/2 bulkheads if you get a saw from glassholes I'll punch the holes or if you want me to get the saw and drill I would do it for like 50 bucks

I would be remiss in not saying that there is always a chance of the tank breaking due to unseen flaws I just did a very large and rather old one that was pretty scratched without an issue fwiw

I'd be interested in utilizing your skills for a small 13 gal
