anyone do hole drilling?


anywhere you guys go to get your holes drilled? Im looking at a 180g tank from glasscages who are great for pricing on the tank... 350$ for the tank, and another 150$ for low iron front and side panels, 1/2" glass. good price. but they want antoher 140$ for 2 overflows and 5 holes(that being for 3 closed loop intakes and 2 overflow holes. returns over the top.

I feel like I could buy 4 sheets of glass and drill my own holes for waaayyy less. specially since I already have the drill bit on the way(friend works for a company that manufactures them)

but I am a little worried about drilling what would be a $490 tank... and I dont know if they would put overflows into the tank without drilling it. I can put in overflows; but I dont know how Id do the acrylic cover for the teeth.

Im sure Andy at Myreefcreations could make you an overflow box. I was gonna call him tomorrow to see if he will cut me one. The costs for the tank builder to drill your holes sound fair to me. That is what i would charge you. Drilling glass is not all that difficult but there is alot that can go wrong.Also it is easy to chip class when drilling and chips around holes cause bulkheads not to seal well....
