59mm (2.32") glass hole saw needed

[DeepSeaBeauti]

I need to get my 55gal tank drilled for my return pump. The bulkhead is for a 1-1/2" PVC slip fitting so I need a 59mm hole saw. I was hoping someone local may have one and could drill this for me .
If not know of someone that could drill it out for me. Im in the Patchogue area. Thanks in advance.

most 55's are not drillable on any panel. double check that first.

Oh no, I hope your wrong. lol Is it tempered glass? The tank is easliy 25 years old. Was one of my first tanks when I was a kid. How can you tell?

Since its old you may be safe. Do a search there are a few ways to try and see if its tempered.

I tried to cut an old 55g to make baffles. I've never seen glass explode like that. Right out of a scifi movie. I had glass shards extend to almost all corners of my entire finished basement. LOL

lol I don't want to do that. hahah

So does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as how to mount and plumb my Reeflo barracuda for suction lift. Pictures are always great.
