drilling undrilled tanks

[toehead11183]

i have a 150 undrilled tank, i believe its an old perfecto tank. canister filters and HOBs just aint cuttin it. i want a sump but my tank isnt drilled and i dont like the HOB overflows. canm this tank be drilled either on the back or on the bottom for a corner overflow or will i just have to hunt up a used drilled tank?

search the DIY threads, there are plenty; including some with links to products and instructions. With the right tools, it's not too hard. I did it on my dads tank: Diamond hole saw, a guide to hold water and guide the saw, took about 15 minutes.

Contact the manufacturer first to find out what type of glass it has. They're marineland www.perfectomfg.com

Anything else would be guess work.

i already e-mailed them...last week. i was just wondering if maybe the glass was different or thicker on drilled tanks because i see some tanks (that still have their warning stickers) say not to drill the tank because it is tempered glass or something. i just cant afford 150 gallons and 40+ fish on my kitchen floor.
