I finally worked up the nerve to drill a tank today... I bought a 29 for use a a fuge (modular-- tank fees fuge and then drains to main sump).
I drilled a practice (45 mm) hole in a 10 gallon and then drilled the hole in my 29-- both took under 5 minutes... I did it outside and ran a garden hose (real low) over the surface of the glass... only issue was it jumping around when I started (so have a few scratches)... other then that, just as easy as it was described... used a corded drill, medium speed at first, faster with a light touch as I went though the glass (especially light when I was about through)....
Thanks (to everyone) for posting the instructions, tips, and experiences...
Spuds...
