All that went through my head for both holes was " gee, wonder how much a 2x6 sheet of glass is gonna cost"
But ya, much easier than I thought, especially on thicker glass.

Glad it worked out well for you, the though of drilling glass makes me very nervous. Don't know if I'd ever have the guts to do it myself.

It took me two weeks to actually decided to do it...very nervous, but it worked out well, and a lot cheaper than driving the tank over to Seastar

I bought a diamond tipped hole saw, cost about 30 bucks.

ya i have drilled a few and find it nerve racking at the least... i havent drilled anything in a tank near that size so i am sure it was extra nerve racking..
(from a replacment cost standpoint)
glad it all worked out for you...
