Drilled tanks

Any ideas of were i should buy one. I like glasscages.com but maybe there is a secret place i dont know about. let me know!

 

Buy a tank and have your LFS or local glass shop drill it. Around here a 75g is 99 bucks and drilling is about 10 bucks per hole.

 

And if you have someone drill for you, make sure you are not working with tempered glass. Unless drilling with special equipment (and that's not diamond drill bits I'm referring to) when working with tempered glass, it will shatter, guaranteed. Most tanks that are 50G and up will have standard glass on the sides and tempered glass on the bottom. I have heard that Wal-mart tanks use tempered glass all around. All-Glass, Glass Cages, and Top Fin are like that. Glass cages is custom, so they will do whatever you want, for a price. All-Glass will also make to order as well.

 

Another question. iv seen drilled aquariums with two holes right next to eachouther. Is this just for more flow to the sump? Were should that hole be linked 2?

 

one is for your return

 

how bigof a tank?

 

LFS, ask them about their monthly specials... Every LFS's wholesalers put different tanks on sale every month, just buy the one you want on sale, prepay, tell them you will pick it when it comes in and you will get a GREAT deal!!

 

Im talking about for an over flow. I can understand one for the output, but I dont know what would be going back into an overflow box

Probably a 55 gal. I could settle for something a little under or a little over. But I want a show tank, nothing long.
