i was wondering if its possible to cut or saw plexiglass or what the best way to do it is. the tank i recently bought does not have an opening where i could put a power filter...i wanna add an emperor or two. Is this possible do it or even worth doing?
 
It is super easy to cut. Any fine tooth saw or drill will do. The corners of your openings should be drilled first, and then cut from corner to corner. The corners need to be left round to avoid being stress risers.
 
If you have a rotozip there's nothing better for cutting acrylic IMO (excluding CNC)
