Hi,

I am considering drilling my 150, relocating the overflow, and perhaps adding a closed loop. Has anyone done this succesfully? Can anyone suggest a glass company or fish store that does this locally? I have seen the glass-holes website, but would prefer not to try it myself.

Thanks,

Mark

I just bought 2 hole saws from glass-holes.com and was pretty nervous about doing it. It went smooth and easy. I would highly recommend doing it yourself.

I drilled my 40 Breeder with the glass-holes.com kit and it was surprisingly easy.

All you need is patience because you can't really apply much pressure to the glass so it takes a little while.

Also it helps tremendously to use a drill with a clutch set at its lowest setting so that it never binds the glass
