Got a house in Mentor split lvl no way to setup 48x 48 tank with out some walls being cut so I am setting up a 180 going to clean and buff the 240 and maybe put in in a wall so you can see it in 2 rooms next summer I have to get a look in the walls before I do anything

how hard is it to drill a glass tank

It's not hard, but it's not fun...I guess nerve racking is the term I'm looking for.

The best virtue to have while drilling glass is patience. I have found that success will follow if you take it really slow and use alot of water to keep the bit cool. I usually take a hose and duct tape it to the glass so the water is constantly flowing over the drilling area. This helps flush the cut out too.

Mark the spot and bring the sump in to the meeting and I'll drill it for you.

USE PLUMBERS PUTTY TO CREATE A DAM AROUND THE HOLE YOU INTEND TO DRILL AND FILL WITH WATER DONT FORGET TO PUT A BUCKET BELOW TO CATCH THE SLUG.
