Thanks for the replies. Although I love to DIY, I'd be worried drilling a tank myself. I need to find a 20G high tank first but I will make some calls to the places listed above to find someone to do it. Thanks again!

Just order a 20g predrilled... I have a 25g and 37g I ordered that way... I think the 25 was $60 or $70 while the 37 ran me a hun I think...

Yeah if you don't already have the tank just get a pre drilled Sea Star through your fav LFS.
That way it you dont have to worry about it breaking when it gets drilled.

Drilling tanks that small hasn't given me good results. Half the time they crack. The last sump I did, I just ordered a piece of glass with the hole in it, that way the driller is responsible. Then I just replaced the side of the tank with the drilled piece. Takes about 30 minutes total, plus drying time.
