Question anyone ever drill a hole in a ten gal. tanks side before?

[fsirico]

I'm going to set up a fish room in my house to breed and grow out some flowerhorn fry. and i want to make a chain of 10gal. tanks and a couple of 60gal below them. I was wondering if you can drill the side of 10gal tanks so i can chain them together on my wall. has anyone done it before with a diamond bit holesaw?

Uh, i think the stress might be to much for a 10g... just go buy a huge tank for the fry. With all the hassle buying a good sized tank would be less effort.

I was just going to pick out certain fry and have one to each 10 gallon. not all the fry. I have a big pond in my back yard i was going to put the fry in their and then in a couple of month start weeding the out for the good ones.

I have and used a 3/4" bulkhead...I didn't daisey chain them, I just put a hole in both sides for filtration...Drill slow slow, it goes fast on those 1/8th inch thick 10g tanks...
