Finding someone to drill my tank
I am having a little trouble finding a shop that is willing to drill my tank. I spoke with one guy who said out of half the tanks he has done only about half turn out right. I dont like those odds. Is drill a tank that difficult ?

no, not if you find someone who can take their time and has experience... Have you contacted any [acronym:cbb7217fbb="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:cbb7217fbb]'s to see if they can recommend anyone?
the guy could be covering his butt, by letting you know he might mess up...

One of my [acronym:56d3485da6="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:56d3485da6] wanted 25 dollars per hole and they wont guarantee that they will not break it. Then you need to add the overflow. For 70 dollars (25/hole and 20 for the overflow, minimum) and the chance of it breaking I spent the extra 75 for a new reef ready tank.
Just my opinion. Good Luck, Brian
