Awesome! I heard about the dremmel trick. It works eh?! Right on. How long does it take to go through 1/2" glass and is it hard? I always wondered about that for refugiums and sumps but thin glass is trick you say? I'm going to do a search on RC but any links are appreciated.

Rasta, hole saw? Acrylic?

No Dremel here Jack, well not used on the tank anyway. I wouldn't attempt a dremel on 1/2" glass!
I used an actual diamond glass hole saw drill bit from Jayson at SWC.
It took about 5 min per hole.

Hey Jon,

I'm looking into drilling my tank. Is that just a regular bit you can pick up from home depot?? I dont' see one of those on Jaysons website. How much was it?

I can answer that part for Jonathan ('cuz it was my drill bit he used ... mine! mine! mine's precious .... )

Jayson doesn't list the drill bits on his site, but I'm sure Jayson would set you up with a drill bit if you asked him to sell you one, but be prepared they are quite costly. The drill bits that I have are actually his old bits that he used before he went and bought himself some really primo bits ... even used I paid $75 per bit. So if you are just looking to drill one or two holes, you might be better off to find someone you know who has a drill bit and asking them to either borrow their bit or if they can come over and drill the hole for you.

PS. I'd be happy to come over and drill the holes for you, but someone'd have to pay my airfare...

Tony basically answered the question.
Jayson dosent currently have any used ones but new ones are in the range of 150ish.

Dang, thats a bit steep for me. Guess I'll try the local glass shops.

Thanks for the info
