So - when I'm ready... which won't be for a while... but was wondering just the same. Is there a safe way to drill holes in an existing glass tank for the overflow boxes?

So where do you buy these kits? Am just thinking in the future. :)

Any thoughts on drilling a tank already filled? Should we pull half the water out - switch livestock to another established tank - and drill? Or should I call it a wash and get a hang on the back overflow?

I get too nervous, I'd just pay Tyler to do it (tcfab).
