Drill it you chicken lol.

hahahaha!
you jerkface. You're just as chicken as me! I told you I'd let canreef decide it's fate.

Worst case I spend 100.00 and get another back pane cut.

I'm thinking I'll call aquagiant and ask them what they can do. Slight issue is AG doesn't communicate all that well.

Tell ya what. If they are going to charge you a bunch of cash to drill it I will do it for ya. If its going to be pricey and they wont gaurantee the glass I will do it then as well.

And for the record I drilled my 180 4 times so im not THAT chicken lol

[Aysha]

I'll call a few glass shops.
I'm not worried about cracking the back panel. I am worried about cracking the bottom. How big should the holes be and how many?

For a Herbie setup you will need two drains. One main with the gate valve on it and one for the emergency standpipe. As for your return, you could have another hole or go over the top edge on the back.

for a tank that size I would just do 2x inch and a quarter holes for the overflow system with a low profile internal overflow box. Then for your mean returns I would just come right up over the back, add some nice lock line so you can aim your flow however you like. easy peasy

yup! I know the basic setup just not how many holes it needs to connect to the tank. I've been doing some reading because I REALLY! should learn how to put it all together.

Big Al's won't guarantee anything and AG didn't understand what I wanted
I will call Norbys and crystal glass this afternoon.
