Can tanks be drilled w/o being fully emptied? Know anyone who can do this?

Hi everyone -

I am thinking of drilling the side of my tank - for overflow and auto WC drip.

Does anyone know if this is possible to do the drilling without emptying the tank fully? - with the water level below the area where the hole will be drilled.

Know anyone who provides such service? It is for 2 x 180 gallon Aqueon tanks.

Location: Port Moody

Cheers,
Kim
 
Kim, you will need a diamond coated hole cutter with a guide to make the cut. I've seen it done many times and it looks easy enough. Check to make sure your tanks are not tempered or you may run into trouble.

Thanks for the encouragement! I have Aqueon tanks - I do not think they are tempered. Will give it more thought - if it breaks while I am doing it, it would be a very big disaster - : ).
