reef ready 125 or larger tank

So I may be moving to Puerto Rico soon. I am currently in Puerto Rico looking for a place that would be able to fulfill my hobbies needs. So far I have visited 5 places and I am horribly disappointed. I need help, I don't want to relay on online purchases only. I have not even seen a pre-drilled tank yet. Does anyone has any leads? I already bought land and house in the center of the island. I now need a place that can help my aquarium addition, a fix if you will :-)

Well after another 4 failures earlier today, one of which told me it was not possible because all pet shops in Puerto Rico are supplied by the same company. I found one guy that was willing to call the supplier and ask. I was told it would be expensive. No call back yet.

FWIW, as long as the glass is not tempered, glass is easy to drill.

And before I forget, if you are not comfortable drilling the holes yourself, you should be able to call around and find a glass company that would be willing to drill the holes for you.

I know, I just got used to the easy life. Last time I drilled a tank was 10years ago 125 still have it in Texas. After all this research I am sure drilling will be my best option. I guess I will bring some of my gear from Texas, the rest I will have to buy online. I am kind of heart broken about the whole thing.
