Hey guys I'm stepping up with my aquarium and I really want to put two overflows into my new aquarium. Who does the best in San Antonio? I want it drilled on the bottom. Thank you guys.

I've always drilled my own holes so I can't say for sure. I'm not even sure who in town is capable/willing to drill holes in tanks.

Is this a new tank? I've always been cautiously optimistic about drilling holes in "older" tanks since it's hard to tell what the glass has been through. Definitely want to make sure the bottom is not tempered.

Checking if the tank is tempered is super easy. All you need is some polarized lenses and a cell phone. As far as drilling goes its easy if you take yer time and buy quality bits. I've used the bits from glass-holes for years and have only gotten 1 bad bit.
