Drilling
 
Any of you guys know how to drill a tank. I have a 180 glass and want to add a sump. The tank should be empty soon. Or does anyone know who in town here will does this at my residence for a decent price?

Cheers

I had Riverfront Aquariums drill a hole for me. I took the tank to them, but the tool is not that big and very mobile, you could give them a call and see if they would come to you. :biggrin:

Thanks Cag. How much did they charge you? How big was the hole?

Cheers

What size hole do you need? Or, what size bulkhead do you plan on using?

TaTtOo 07-22-2004 03:32 PM

I was thinking maybe 2 - 2" overflows with returns.

Ah, can't help you then, sorry. I can drill 1 - 3/4" holes for 1" bulkheads but at >$100 per diamond drill bit I only have that one, plus a 5/8" drill for float valves, and then my little toy budget got kind of depleted after that.

I know a guy who can come to your house and drill. Just pm me if you want his number.

Hey Tony, are you still the best deal in town if I want a hole drilled in my sump?

AJ_77 09-29-2004 02:49 AM

Careful Tim, it's about a 6-8 beer job, then there's mileage charges, etc...

:lol:

But yeah, Tony is way under-charging from what I can tell... :biggrin:
