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.

If you know the brand name of the aquarium, e-mail the manufacturer. They'll be able to tell you everything you need to know. I was in the same position with my 65gal Perfecto. They sent me a reply with glass thicknesses and whether or not I'd be able to drill the number of holes, size of holes, hole spacing that I wanted to have.
