No, they go quick, took me less than 5 minutes to cut and trim for 3 - 1/2" bulkheads.

Personally I just prefer to have a hose pouring onto the work surface, but I peirce straight through, then cut the hole to size, not this 1/4 of the way per pass stuff.

They're in with the rest of the dremel and drill bits.

Oh man I just about had a heart attack before I drilled 10 holes in my 190g acrylic. I don't think there is any way I would ever try glass. I did run across this thread on Reef Central though that I though was very good as it includes pictures for drilling a glass tank that might be informative.
