Default Where to get tank drilled ?
Anyone know where I can go to get my tank drilled in Calgary? I am just too scared and want to give the responsibility to someone else.

At one point I called around to a few places and most were willing to do it but wouldn't guarantee it if they broke it. I ended up drilling a couple holes myself, which turned out to be pretty easy.

Ha, thats kind of pointless if they don't guarantee you get it back in one piece..


Hmm I will check Red Coral. Thanks ElGuappo.

anyone that gaurantees it back in one piece is crazy. If you find a crazy person, please post their name here so everyone can go there. Nobody around here will do that. I know I wouldn't!

What size holes do you need and how thick is your glass?

I really don't see the point in paying someone to do it if theres no guarantee, might as well do it myself then!!

I have no clue at all, I am just in the planning stages of adding a sump to my already established tank. I just measured the glass with a tape measure, 1/4" thick.
