Glass cutting?

[Salinity Now]

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.

If you get the proper tool to score the glass, and are careful (might take a little practice too) then score and crack should work great, this is how window companies cut glass, with a machine that scores and breaks it.

The "best" way to drill is with a diamond drill bit on a stationary drill. This is how I have drilled my sumps, the bit is expensive but pays for itself in the end, and it is just cool to drill your own glass. It is definately possible with a rotary tool though, I read the same post on RC.

You can get the bit's cheap on ebay. They come out of hong kong and work well.

Which bits, rotary tool cutting bits, or diamond drill bits?
