Help Needed: Drilling a tank

[junglebase]

I need a 90 gallon tank drilled and the glass folks in Jersey City would like to charge me $75. It is way above my budget :wink1: , Any MR'er has the gadgets to do it for me? Any input is appreciated....

Thanks

is that just for the holes or for everything u need... i got my 2 holes drilled in my tank for 75.00 but they included the bulkheads and the pipes to make the overflow for inside the tank...

$20 per hole up in Orange County. But this is a trip up here. Sounds like Sean's got the best deal.

I would do it myself. Set up a jig, use lots of water, DON'T PRESS DOWN. You are actually NOT drilling a hole so much as grinding a hole in glass. You have to let the drill and bit do the work.
