Any chance getting some help, drilling a tank, in the Malden(OakGrove)area

[dcforester1]

In the next month or so hopefully I will be drilling my tank. I have found out that my skimmer, and filter, are just not going cut it. I have a 75gal acrylic, and a 20l that im going to try to make into a sump. I live in Malden by Oak Grove. I could probably do all the work myself, I just need some help mapping it out. I have everything I need, Im just not sure the best way to go. I have a small room behind my tank were I think I could put everything. Any help or sugg. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Derek

if you feel like taking a drive, I'll help you out, but I'm not anywhere close to Malden.....

Matt at salt water city in lynn will drill your tank for you.

I was thinking of asking him, but he has been busy setting up the new store. I didnt want to add more to his plate. Thanks for the offer jay, but hate to think of carrying it down stairs again.
Thanks Derek

Is it better to drill on the back or on bottom? What are the benefits of both?

 

[afboundguy]

A lot of tanks have tempered bottoms so you can't drill because they will shatter

Is that the only reason? Is there a benefit to bottom vs. back drilling, or is it 6 or 1/2?
