To drill or not to drill

[IThinkItsDeadJim]

So I have my 50, but picked up a 150 with stand that has been used as a FW for the last 15-20 years. No leaks, custom stand. Looking to dump the 50 reef and convert the 150. Problem is, it's not drilled. My question is, do I just run overflows, drill it or try to sell for a drilled? Fire away people!

Drilling is always better.

Drilling a 15-20 year old tank? I'd think twice. Check if it's tempered?

How would I tell?

drilling is very simple, much more intimidating than it actually is. If its safe to drill, go for it.
