Drilling my first tank!!!!

[tonymofo]

I ordered a diamond hole saw from www.glass-holes.com. It took me like 5 minutes to drill the hole. I just watched the video on the website. It's that easy. The only thing I did different than the video was I was drilling while I had hose with running water to cool the drill bit down. I will post pics later.

The bit was $11 bucks with shipping compared to going to the store and paying $20 bucks a hole!!!!

Very cool. I might have to order a bvit as I will need to drill a few tanks in the near future.

Good idea with the hose.I agree if you are comfortable using a cordless drill there is no reason you cant drill your own holes.
