As the title suggests, im looking at getting a new tank, preferably something thats pre-drilled in the bottom for the filter pipes (not something im willing to do myself), I have a Fluval Roma 240 at the moment, im looking to go upto approx 300 litres, maybe a bit more 350 litre max, I dont really want to go back to pipes draping over the back of the tank and love the pre drilled down pipes, so im looking for some suggestions please, I only need tank (must have a lid) and cabinet, it doesnt have to come with filters, heaters etc as i'll just reuse my current ones which will be fine for the size im looking to upgrade to, it will be for freshwater.
 
Anybody that makes custom tanks can buy glass with holes in. Then they just assemble the tank. If you are handy and want to try building your own tank, you can get a glazier to drill the holes.

If you get holes drilled in glass, have them near the corners because there is less pressure on the base and it's less likely to crack when the tank is full.

Some companies will drill tanks that are already built. They either come to your house and drill it or you take the tank to them. Most won't guarantee not cracking the base but they try not to and it doesn't happen very often.
