Drilling tanks

[msentell]

Does anyone know a local place (around the 'burgh) to get a few holes drilled in my 150 gallon glass tank?

Thanks, mark

You can go to elmer's. They charge about $15 per hole, and approx 15-20 per bulkhead kit.

I had 3 put into my old 92, and it came to like $120.

The only downfall is that they only do 1" holes. This restricts water flow, and causes the need for many holes.

I think there is someone in our club who has a 1.5" diamond drill bit, but I am unsure who.

i have a dremel with diamond bits if you want to use them. you'll have to do it yourself though. i drilled a 1'' hole in my tank while it was full, i just drained water to below the hole and i had no problems.
