I have an ETSS Reef Devil that is foaming like crazy since adding an airstone. I'd like to drill the collection cup so I can fill up a 2L bottle. Any easy/cheap DIY ways to do this? No using a tap/dye.

Do not drill it, it will probably crack!!!, Use a soldering iron and melt a round hole in it.

Cheap way is to warm up a nail with a lighter(match) and then push it threw
