I posted some pics of my drilling in the tank journal area under mmm...230.
BUT, here's a link to a video :

The video I learned from seems to be missing, but that one is good.
Tape up the inside of the tank with duct tape where the hole will be, this will keep the glass from falling and I find it helps prevent chipping at the end.
Cheers.
this may help http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=603816

what are you doing, the excellent Herbie (takes two holes just for the return), one return, CL?
I just borrowed the glass bits from someone. It's quite easy. I have bought Tile bits at Rona before and it has worked for me. I don't know where that bit went though, that was quite a few years ago. Hope this helps.
Well Mr. animalcrossing came by today and did a pro+ job.
Thanks for all your help - I appreciate it!
