Ya man I'm going to lower the tank about half way and make a fixture to drill the holes and do it while fish are in the tank. I have drilled a tank with my marble pups in it, biggest thing is a steady hand and balls of steel lol I'm not worried because I'm not going to screw it up
Speaking of chipped tanks....this isn't really DIY....but it is a cool thing I think.
I found this clear corner guard at HomeD for like $1 or something...4' piece. Cut to fit and siliconed to the edge of a garage tank or a small beater....goodbye chipped corners. One of my tanks had a chip and this stuff covered it completly. Just a small bead of silicone in the "v" and push it on and bam.

That's the tank I drilled and plumbed with the pups inside it.
Never let fear or common sence hold me back yet lol
That is cool I have never thought of doing that with chipped tanks. I have used that stuff to make trim for a tank. Learned the hard way don't trust the adhesive that is on those corner pieces. I just painted it flat black.

Mind you I should had I have plenty of experience drilling holes as a machinist/milwright from O1, D2, cpm10v (powder metal) hardened material, aluminum, steel, prehardened 4140 and the list goes on, so it's just another hole to drill to me
