I want to learn how to drill a tank possibly by watching someone else drill a new 46 bow i just bought. Ill pay for the bit if someone has one but i just want to learn for future reference so i can start driling my own. i want 2 1" holes at the top corners for drains and 1 3/4" in the middle for my return or i may just run it over the top. LMK thanks.
Anyone help drill a tank??

It's really, really easy. Just chuck the bit in your drill, keep running water on the area constantly, and let the bit do the work- don't try to go too fast (ie- don't push down).
When I drill glass, I like to hold the bit in place with the outer white ring from a teflon tape holder - you can deform it so that you can hold the bit in place before the circle sets.
It's easy - go for it!

If I were you, I would do a few practice drills on a cheap 10G tank. The glass is thinner so if you can drill a 10G without busting the glass you may feel more comfortable drilling the show tank.
