Eddies drills tanks. From what I hear they charge 20.00. But if they break the tank, they do not repay or anything. Plus they take for ever to call you back about it. I am still waiting. And that was over three months. So I am going to drill my own tanks.

Do you know how to drill a tank? I was thinking of drilling my own but I'm afraid I'll break it. Maybe you can help me if your experienced. I'll gladly pay you what I'd pay you if you know what ur doing.

Get a small 10g and make some holes~

I'm not sure if I trust myself. I might call up Eddies today and see what they say. Has anybody ever had them drill a tank before?

It's 20 per hole. I'll probably wind up bringing the tank there sometime this week.

Picked up the tank yesterday, they did a good job on the drilling, and were good about helping me move it out of and into the car. Only thing is they took a few days to get it done and then called and basically begged me to pick it up right away and get it out of there, but still, I'd reccomend Eddie's if you need to get a tank drilled.
