My tank is an inwall, blacked out on 3 sides with laminated acrylic. Is there anything I need to know before I drill for a closed loop.

Put some tape on the side that you drill so that way it don't chip or crack. You might even want to put some on the other side also...This will give it some stability when the bit bite into it.
