Drilling 40 breeder

[kemper6120]

Does anyone know how to drill an aquarium and have the tools to do it? i will pay but need to do it as cheap as possible.. Only reason im drilling it is because i cant sale it unless its drilled it seems like. Thats as ways that first questions.

It's very easy to do. All you need is a drill, the diamond coated drill bit, and some water. I wouldn't drill it yet because once the hole is there it can't be plugged. Just tell whoever that it can be drilled if needed.

I have told every body that lol and it sounds easy but i dont wanna go spend 60-70 bucks on the drill bits i would rather pay someone like 20 or so just to do it for me :)

The fact that the tank is drilled does little for a sale IMO. You'd need the overflow at least, preferrably a standpipe (unless you used a glass-holes kit). The problem with 40 breeders is that they're so easy to get for $40 at petco, you pretty much have to sell them for $25 unless you've got a full setup or a reef ready tank. JMO of course.

Yea.. I have realized that lol i might just end up drilling it and making the overflow and keeping it

Aquatic Critter will drill them for $15/hole last I checked with Chris a couple months ago.

I've got the bits the I used on my 40 b and the templates/ guides to boot. I can bring them down when I come to town probable around fathers day if you want ? Just let me know ... They are the exact sizes for the glass hole overflow and return.

I believe im gonna be out of town that weekend but it does sound awesome! does glass hole sale just the overflow box?
