Drilling

[TaTtOo]

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.

[TaTtOo]

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]

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?

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



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