I need to drill my tank so that I can get tubing to the sump. Does anyone know how to do that?
Anyone in Queens drill tanks?

I know how hard it is in an apartment atmosphere so hopefully you have a house or area you can do this.

It's pretty easy. All you need is a dremel/drill and drill bite, with the right size. GO SLOW. You sure your tank is drillable? Is the glass temper glass? Do a search on youtube, there are many videos out there.

I cracked my last tank....:sgrin:, because the damn tank didn't said, it's "TEMPER GLASS".
What size hole do you need? for 1 inch bulkhead, i don't want to crack your tank.....lol!!! With the cost of getting the drill bite and hassel, you better off just bring it to a LFS and they'll drill it for your for maybe $30
btw, a lot of the tank bottom are temper, not drillable. i'm assuming you drilling the back, not the bottom?

Yes I plan on drilling the back. I believe on the bottom of this tank is tempered.

What size tank is it? And what size bulkhead do you want? If you wanna take a ride out east, I'll drill it for you. I can do it for free as long as its a 3/4" bulkhead or 1 1/2". I already have the bits for those. Lmk
