looking to drill my tank

Hey Travis not to ruin your thread or talk crap isn't the reason you got rid of the bio was because of the issue it was too cold to run a sump? This would give you the same issue again right?

 

How do you know that the bottom isn't tempered glass?

I've watched videos, and have most of the tools to do it, but I would be nervious about drilling glass.

 

I think they usually drill a hole in back side of tank.Put a bulkhead in and plumb it.

 

Most bottoms are tempered on these smaller tank. I've always drilled through the back glass.

 

Where you getting 40 from? Last few times I've had ACC drill my tanks it was 10 per hole. so 20 bucks would do ya.

 

I would think the bottom is tempered. I think most tanks are. The sides probably aren't.

Here's a thread that shows how to tell:

If you aren't comfortable doing it, then it's worth paying Hung to do it for you right? $20 is worth peace of mind. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

 

If you are from Cedar Rapids, ACC is not all that far from you.... Plus it's worth the trip.... It will be hard to compete with $10 a hole... I would consider that option if getting the tank drilled is important to you..
