Looking to get my 46 gal bowfront drilled, thinking of getting three holes, one for intake and 2 for the overflow. Any suggestions on where I should go or who to contact for getting it drilled. Should I drill my 3 holes as planned for the dual overflow in case something plugs or could I get away with just 2 holes, and what are the standard sizes that people get drilled. I know it has to match the bulkheads that I don't have just yet but this weekend hopefully. thanks.

Do it yourself.  Get a diamond bit from ebay ($10 for 2) and go to youtube and watch a video on how to drill an aquarium.  It's really easy.
