wegotjs Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 What size hole do you need. I have a couple sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick T Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I drilled 8 holes in my 120 with no problems. I have a couple bits around here... I think for 3/4" and 1.5" bulkheads (I'd have to check to be sure I have them both) If you wanted to borrow them you'd be welcome to. If you wanted some help/supervision I'd be happy to come by being you're so close. Of course you'd have to do the drilling as I wouldn't want to be responsible. But, like I say it wasn't a problem on my tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterego Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 drilling holes in acrylic is easy. It is in glass that it becomes tricky. i would not pay $30 for a hole unless the driller guaranteed that if they cracked the tank, they would replace it.

obeasethug Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 You can get a diamond hole saw from amazon for less than $10 and drill as many holes as you want. I drill holes through travertine tiles with it and worked great. I dont remember what size I have, but you could use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick T Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I checked the tool box and it seems I only have the 1.5" bit for glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
