I hope all of you are doing well. I'm very happy to hear that you have been having good turn outs for the meetings. I've been crazy busy with work for the last 2 months and it seems that I don't have a life (social or otherwise) anymore...

Can anyone give me a recommendation on where to get my tank drilled for a couple of bulkheads in the OKC area? I'm tired of my siphon overflow.

Thanks a bunch,
-Lee

Regal Plastics Drilled the 500 and 150 the installed for Integris. However I would not recomend them, the person doing the work was unsure of himself and did not even bring the right drill bits. After that we drill a few on our own. I just realized you most likley talking about a glass tank right ? I have no idea who could drill a glass tank.

Thanks for the input. I'm hoping to get my 46 gal bow glass tank drilled.

You might want to talk to Lilreeferboy (Grant). He had his 75 oceanic drilled recently. HTH.

you might want to try your local glass company. they drill out my tanks for 10.00 to 20.00 per hole. its cheaper than buying a diamond tip hole saw and doing it yourself.

Lee, I've never had a tank drilled, but I would contact "City Glass" They are one of the largest glass shops in OKC. If they can't do it, they can point you in the right direction.

I cut my own with a rotozip no problem(55 Oceanic). Seems like I read a thread yesterday on the DYI that had some good suggestions.
