Update;
Job thing didn't happen, glass cutting has been delayed due to the shop being super busy here lately. I'm guessing with close to 800 views and no one saying "NO STOP! Don't do it" that I might just be ok with my idea. Hoping to cut the tank in the next few days as the holiday put a small dip in our sales.
I have found a local fab shop that will do my drilling for $20 a hole. I'm thinking three 1.5" drains for an overflow setup. Looking like I might do a modified herbie overflow with an extra emergency tube, and at the very least the 3 holes will allow for some modifications if needed or decide to go with the bean animal or another variation.
The main trouble I'm running into right now in the planning stages is what the tank will ultimately be used for, wife wants to go full on Reef tank and I'm leaning more towards something easier since it'll be my responsibility.
