20 gallon high overflow

[danoreef]

does any one have and AGA 20 gallon high with holes drilled in it? becuase I am going to drilll holes for my overflow and closed loop and don't really want to start until I know that it won't destroy the integrity of the glass.

P.S. The tank is not tempered.

I just had my local marine store, drill my 10 gal overflow, i just have pvc pipe back right corner of tank. leading the water to the sump below. So u have to have the right tools to perform the job, very tricky. cant drill the hole to close to one another weakin the glass.

I did it with a dremmel.bits were $8.00

I ordered the bits from http://www.richontools.com/index.html I will try my luck with these I couldn't pass up the price.

woah,guess not for $5.50,& they do 8,000 holes.

The dremmel bit only did 4 holes,& it was shot.
