Drilling an acrylic aquarium and setting up a refugium

[scubaspew]

Anyone help me with this? I am looking into getting a tank that is 36x36x18 acrylic and I want to get it drilled and set up a refugium on it. I have no room to store this meaning once I get it. I need to set it up and tear my old tank down pretty quick since I don't have the space to have both set up. Also due to tank size I have no way to move it on my own or take it somewhere to be drilled. Any experienced reefers out there willing to help? I'll supply the beer!:beerchug:

I can't help due to a broken heel but all you need is a drill and hole saw to cut your bulkheads.

Oh and those dimensions would make for an awfully purty tank :biggthumpup:

glasscages.com will make any custom size tank for you and drill it for you. I have heard they are alright a little weak on cust service but if they get your tank for you that should be all you'd need. They also have bulk shipping to mpls.

I already have the tank, just looking for experienced members that can help with drilling and plumbing it cheaply and efficiently.

I had no problem drilling 3 1.75" holes on .220" acrylic with a standard hole saw as soltaker posted.. put a board behind it to brace.
