Drilling Glass

[bst5017]

hey guys,
before I ask another question...i would just like to say thanks already for the advice...it is nice to talk to people who share the same interests and are knowledgable but also sharing! I was wondering if anyone had any experience drilling glass. I am putting a refugium on my tank and I am kind of undecided on whether or not before I get a bunch of stuff in the tank if I just want to do an internal overflow or stay with the HOB overflow, or how hard this would be.

There are some videos on youtube about drilling tanks. Dont think it would be that hard.

Here is a link from glass holes.

thanks...i found a kit I can order online thats not too much to do an internal overflow that looks pretty nice. I am going to set up my refugium this weekend and make sure it works for (I did the acrylic myself so I am alittle skeptical, but they hold water and everything so we will see). It says your interest are computers...you build them or? gaming?

i made my sump too....what kind of glue did you use? do you have any problems with it?

thats what I ordered to and then I used aquarium sealant to go over the seems again. it was not as hard as i thought and saved a ton of money...i will try and post some pics later this weekend. i just got my mag-5 so i will be setting it up. and if that works I am going to probably be drilling a hole in the tank so i dont have to worry about the siphon onmy HOB overflow.
