Drilling Tank. Few Questions
Hey everyone I am ordering a new cube aquarium and i am getting one that is not drilled. My new tank will be a 18x18x18 (25) gallon rimless mr aqua cube. They are having a sale on them so figure since this was the tank i am looking for ill just splurge and buy it.
So a few questions on drilling. I know you need a diamond tip bit. I don't really want to order this bit just so i can use it once. Does anyone have a bit and would be willing to drill my tank or does anyone know anyone in the nw suburbs that drills tanks? Also after drilling for an overflow what have people used for this? I have seen a few people using a pvc elbow and i have also seen people with over flow boxes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I drilled my tank for overflow and return as well as a closed loop. I found it to be pretty easy and inexpensive. Let me know if I can give you a hand.
