      looking to get bulk heads drilled its 40gal breeder so moving it shouldnt be an issue

      What size you need the holes? I have an inch and half inch glass hole saws. I've drilled with good success. If the tank was north I'd cut the holes for you and you just install bulkheads. Like everyone else that drills. Not responsible if it breaks but I don't charge 20 a hole like everywhere else only 10. :)

  4. Anyone have a 90gal drilled???

  5. anyone have a used cube tank for cheap?? dont really need a stand if it is drilled or could be drilled would be awesome... thanks in advance

      You'd think the cooler temps would help. The wind I understand though.

      Awesome thanks for letting me know... I am going for a 40gal breeder that does not have a center brace thats why I was hoping that it would be ok to remove... how would I know if its tempered and could a place like HD or Lowes tell me... (they are closest) thanks in advance

    3. All WYSIWYG

      All WYSIWYG

      If it does not have a center brace you can remove the trim without any problems, the trim offers no support. Yes you can drill the sides if the bottom is tempered, like jestep said.
