Where to Have Tank Drilled?

[jefra]

Anyone have any recommendations on where to have a 22g nano drilled at around Tampa Bay area? Called around to a few LFS and no one seems to offer this.

It's a pricey little low iron glass tank and I have no experience drilling glass. Have watched a few DIY videos on YouTube but would be too nervous my first time I think.

I did it, and was no problem. Just make sure where to make your holes. Eschopps and Modular Marine come with a nice template for their overflows. Also If you have a battery operated drill, it works better. Just keep a steady hand and don't set it on full blast.
If I can do it, you can and I'm an Aggie.

Drilled my first tank couple months ago. I was very nervous but went well. SLOW and steady is key. I drilled outside. Clamped hose to tank for constant water supply and drilled with my 20V dewalt. Just gotta make sure and let the drill do the work without applying any pressure.

One thing you want to be sure of before any drilling is that your tank does not have any tempered panels. I found out the hard way that my topfin 75 was tempered

Bought an aqueon and had no issue drilling

If you are still too nervous I would have to believe a glass shop would do it

Yes, any glass and mirror place should be able to cut the holes for you.
