Glass cutting?

I just finished cutting 4 holes for my 65gal tank with the "el cheapo" dremel bits from Lee Valley. I'm also going to cut a few panels of 1/4" glass here shortly to make the internal overflow. Good luck with your project and enjoy it.

Was the "el cheapo" bits located in the La'bargoon area?

Too bad there wasn't a bargain bin. I'd be in there everyday. It's their everyday low price of $14.00.

The powerfist brand ones from princess auto work really well also - kits run under 20$ (the 8pc kit i'm using was like 9$)

Are the tanks tempered? If it is, then don't do it. If not, and you are confident enough, then go for it.
