Reef Ready vs Self-Drilling

[Draco]

So, the only 75 gal reef-ready (Drilled with Overflow) tanks I am finding for sale locally is $300.

 

I am wondering how much of a difference the cost would be if I found someone to drill a tank for me, and I added my own plumbing?

 

if I could order a cheaper one online, I would.. anyone know where I can shop online that would deliver a 75 gal tank? I can't seem to find any online sellers that'd deliver

You can drill yourself, man. I had success on the first try. Only thing is with tanks that size is to make sure the glass you want to drill isn't tempered.

thank you.. is it that much cheaper to do it oneself?

Yes itnis. Drill it uourself.

Someone on here in the hardware classifieds is selling a "glassholes" overflow kit with everything you need...

The glassholes kit is super easy, just take your time and keep the bit wet while drilling.
