Topic: need glass cut for plumbing.. Posted: March 23 2010 at 5:26pm |
i found a tank to use as a sump for cheap, anyone know of a place that will cut in a hole for plumbing? will it be expensive?
i want an external pump as i've been told it's quieter.

Ewaldsreef is in West Valley, but he will travel. He did mine last year for 10 bucks a hole. I don't know if that has changed though.

If you want it done in a timely manner, don't call Marine Aquatics.

Day 1. I needed a 55 gallon sump and a hole drilled for the return pump. Stopped by marine aquatics, no 55 gallon tanks, but ya, they could drill the tank. Quick trip to Petco and then back. Marine Aquatics had closed 45 minutes early, knowing I would be back with the tank. Day 2. Back to Marine Aquatics to drop off tank. Owner wasn't there but I could leave the tank and pick it up that night. Returned to pick it up, not done, owner had been gone all day rotating van tires? Day 3. Sunday closed. Day 4. Called, tank still not drilled. Day 5. Called again, still not drilled. Day 6. Called again, still not drilled, employee was not sure why it had not been drilled yet. Day 7. Drove to the store, tank not drilled, told to come back in an hour. Hour later, drill bit missing, would I like a different size? Sure, drill it smaller, even though the pump says not to restrict inlet flow. I just don't care anymore at this point. Day 8. Pick up tank and never return to marine aquatics again, even with an empty 210 to fill. Few months later I decided to add another tank to the system. I ordered the drill bit off amazon for $25 with free 2nd day shipping. Drilled my own tank on the third day for free in about 5 minutes.

No frag needed, an apology was enough. At the time marine aquatics acted like it was completely normal to get this much run around for a hole to be drilled. I didn't want a fellow reefer to have the same experience. Hopefully things have changed and communication is better between you and your customers.

Again sorry about any bad experiences you have had With Marine Aquatics Inc, We strive to have some of the best customer service around But sometimes things slip through the cracks. This is why i am one of the very few Owners who gives out his Direct Cell phone number. If you aren't getting the level of service at my store i would like to know about it.
Eric.
PS. FREE Frag offer still stands...
