Glass drilling

[Gregz263]

I am looking to drill some 1" holes into the back of my 150. Can anyone offer suggestions on where I could get this done? Or any advice on doing it myself?

I know a few LFS's around me do it for about $20 per tank, (or maybe that is hole?) Not sure, but I have also seen people who have bought the "bits" on ebay pretty cheap as well!! (also around 20-30)

I have seen some club members offer to drill others tanks as well! =) Good luck!!

I bought an eBay bit and drilled my own holes in my 125. It was actually very easy... use lots of water and keep the drill straight and the speed slow.

1" sounds a little small, though. What are you putting through the hole? Most 1" bulkheads require a 1-3/4" hole.

What sized PVC pipe do you use with that 1" bulkhead?
I was planning on running a closed loop as well 2 drains to the sump and 2 returns.

I would drill 1-3/4" holes and use 1" Spa flex.
