anyone drill bulkheads?

Just wondering if anyone in the club does this themselves and would be willing to try a 10 gallon tank.

Thanks,
Kyle

i've drilled a few. if you aren't in a hurry, bring it to the next meeting and we'll do it then. if you want to do it sooner, let me know. bring the bulkhead also so we can trace it for the exact size hole to make.

i have seen some 10 gallon tanks that were made of tempered glass, check to make sure yours isn't (there's usually a sticker on them somewhere). can't drill tempered glass- it'll just shatter.

yeah I'm in no hurry. I might want to get it done before the meeting depending on how fast my other projects go... I'll also check to see if it is the correct type of glass.

thanks,

I saw Matt do one at our meeting in Roanoke. He did a great job.

As a matter of fact he did mine at the meeting, he did a great job, I couldn't be happier. If you are lucky enough to find a glass shop that is even willing to do it for you it runs about $25 per hole. And if they break your tank by accident not only are you out a tank but you still have to pay for the hole.

Thanks again Matt!
