We just did this with our established 75. We ordered everything we needed from glass-holes, including the drill bit. We only emptied it half way and everything went fine. My boyfriend drilled and I sprayed with water to ensure it didn't get too hot. Took a little while and was pretty stressful but well worth it.

look at it with polerized sunglasses. If there is a checkered pattern it is tempered. look at your car windows to see the pattern. Any light/dark pattern is tempered

I've been wanting to do this for years as well. I'm glad to hear that there are so many success stories. Unfortunitally for me I think I'd still have to empty 100% of the tank so that I could move it out from the wall to drill the second hole. That being the case I think I'm better off bringing it to a glass shop to have it done. But good luck with yours and if you do change your mind and want someone else to do it Speedee glass has done a great job at drilling 6 holes for me.
