I'm planning on drilling my 90 gallon soon out the back. I went to Ocean aquatics and Had a surface skimmer built for the back left corner it was 60 bucks, purchased all the plumbing and bulkheads and Now i'm just waiting on the diamond tip hole saw to come in from Mops.com I'm hoping that all i've been hearing about tanks usually being not tempered on the sides are true or else i'm going to have a very big mess on my hands. I'll try and Keep you posted and let you know how it goes!

I drilled my 55g sump when it was about 1/2 full. I did a bout 50 test holes on spare pieces before I did the sump.My hands were shaking when I started and finished the hole. No problems. Just make sure the better half is gone for a while so you have time to clean it up just in case. Oh and make sure it isn't tempered
