Hi my name is John and I live in redmond. Just getting back into SW after a year away. Only had FOWLR tanks in past but going to do corals this time. Starting a 40gal and looking to get it drilled. Anyone here do that sorta thing or know of anyone local who does? trying to avoid syphon overflow but may be stuck going that route. anyways....glad to have another place to meet locals here in the desert and looking forward to meeting some of you!

I got Joel up at waves to drill my tank. 3 holes, 1 drain, 2 returns, including bulkheads and some snails it was 150. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

I finally put an overflow on my tank about a year ago. I was very nervous about it but it has worked out very well. Drilling is the best way to go but the new overflows are very good.
