How to Drill a Glass Aquarium
Putting a drill against a glass aquarium can feel intimidating, but trust us, it's easier than you think. With the right diamond hole saw, careful preparation, and a little patience, you can cut a clean hole for an overflow, return line, or bulkhead in no time.
You can position an external overflow where it makes the most sense, add return lines in your preferred locations, and select plumbing components that match your specific filtration setup.
Starting with a standard glass tank and drilling it yourself can also save you some money, which is another way of increasing your coral budget later!
