Hay Guys,

I was thinking of drilling a 180g on the side panel and install an overflow. Is this doable? Anything i need to watch out for? I have drilled a 20gallon tank before without problem. I would imagine a 180g is harder, thicker glass, and moving it around. Would it be an issue if i have the tank sit on the side panel for a day so i can drill and install an overflow kit? Advice? I want to do a 3 sided view.

Planning to just get an overflow from ebay after i drilled it and install it. Would i be just using silicone i guess.

Thanks,

-Sam

Diamond hole saw drill bit, the chip are very very minimum and it's not on the side of the gasket so i should be fine. :splitspin

Ok as long as it's not on gasket side. And I've done a lot of holes and never had any chips on either side. I think my last 2 had some because after 5 years and hundreds of tanks drilled my bit finally dulled on me.
