joel,
I have a diamond bit and drill... I drilled 6 holes without a tank failure so far (2 in a 20L, 4 in a 75). Bit is for a 1" bulkhead (1 3/4" hole). I can help you out with this, but the trickiest part will be lube. I drilled mine over the summer where I could run the hose continuously over the drill location outside in the yard. This time of year, you might have to go out and buy some putty to make some water dams out of. Maybe it would be best for me to get a 'refresher course' at TFP on the 31st before I touch someone else's tank though, I offer no guarantees (and from what I hear, neither will any glass shop!)
Just let me know when you're looking to get this done and I'll try to contribute a steady hand and a nerve-wracking 10 minutes

LOL...nerve-wracking would be correct. Looks like once the fish are out of the tank, this one will go into storage for a while. At least until I have moved. Moving a 55 gallon versus a 120 gallon will be easier. But, some day down the road, the 120 will be drilled. Thanks for the offer Joel, and for your suggestions of my other post.

If i remember correctly (I'm at work right now), I have 3 silver dollars, 2 rainbowfish, 1 cory, 1 bala shark. There are two others: I was told that it was called a dwarf flag cichlid. I can't find a pic of it, but it's very docile. And I have one random live-bearer, which while I had a small sholl of them did bread. I think that's it.
Bmac and Ranger07 are in line for them. Once I hear from them, I'll be able to post if there are any left.
