240gallon glass

[milkman407]

Alright well i absolutley hate these hob overflows from aquatrader... there not what i exspected and will never used hob overflows again ( i'd rather make them, or drill the hole).

How hard would it be to drill through a 240gallon glass tank? i've delt with acrylic before but never glass.

thanks

If your sure it's not tempered, check out CHOMPERS thread on how to do it.

its probably tempered. but I cant stand these overflows so I gota do something.... all they do is suck water than 10 mins later get air bubles cought and dont suck enough....

I had the same problem.... I had a 120 and wanted to get wholes drilled, but the bottom was tempered. So I just drilled the one side of the tank, as I have almost all my tanks positioned perpendicularly from the wall...... I like the ability to see the tank from both sides..... ANYWAY......, I had a LFS do the drilling...., but the next one (if i ever get glass again) will be done by me.... CHOMPERS thread is a good one........ Good Luck

thanks, If I could find it . Got nothing better to do than search thru posts haha.

I've drilled many acrylic tanks, but never glass.. so this should be interesting.

I actually prefer to have my tanks drilled on the side rather than on the bottom anyway....

same. only way i want them drilled on the bottom is if i have something covering it.

if it's tempered, it cannot be drilled
