That was easy!
 

So my 180 has been sitting in the kitchen for a week waiting for me to get the nerve to drill a couple of holes in it. Well, finally tackled it, and it was pretty easy! Pretty sure I held my breath for 20 minutes tho :)

lol yeah i had that fear with my 50 cutting out the overflow so much i forgot to chec kto see if it was tempered glass thank fully it wasnt or it would have been too late. glad it worked out for ya

yeppers not as hard as some would think if you take all the right steps. I have drill a couple dozens holes now and they just keep getting easier.:biggrin:

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

What did you use to make the holes?

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...

I don't believe ya, no pictures it didn't happen.. you know the rules :mrgreen:
