It was a black oak oceanic 75 gal and the glass was pretty thick. I used the saws with the pilot bit so it didnt walk around at all

nice! I drilled mine a couple weeks ago using overflow and return kits from glass-holes.com. Have to agree; it was easier than I thought.

The little cheap 10 gallon tanks are usually made with tempered glass. Glass that has been "Tempered" will Shatter if you drill it.Originally Posted by seaurchin
