Default Anybody able to drill a tank?

I just have a 170 freshwater I want to install a drip system on. Just need a bulkhead between half and inch and an inch drilled on the side of my tank. Anybody have the technology to do this? I will pay obviously.

.5 to 1.0 inch is pretty small.Is that the size of the bulkhead or the desired hole size?My smallest bit will yield a whole just under 1.250" We are talking about a glass tank right?

Talking bulkhead yep. Size I am not really fussy as the drip will be slow. And yes we are talking glass.

I could maybe do you a 5/8" which is good for installing float valves. Or lend you the bit and you can do it yourself (it's not hard, we can go over the how-to's if you wanted to borrow it). LMK
