Need help Drilling tank

If you order a set of bits from ebay then I can help you drill them. I borrowed the bits when I drilled my tank so I don't have any. Or I think Marine Aquaria drills tanks as well. Give them a shout.

Check out this site www.glass-holes.com. I ordered from them when I drilled my 75 gal. sump. Worked out fine. They have you-tube instructional videos and good prices on hole saws.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I have decided to do the herbie and have the return back to over the tank. No drilling, too much risk. if the tanks goes, im in big ____ from the wife.

My bet is the wife would ___ you if the tank overflowed as well. Drilling the tank and using bulkheads is the safer route in my opinion. I just drilled my first tank a few weeks ago its extremely easy and as long as you space your holes at least the diameter of the bulheads apart you wont compromise the strength of the glass.
