my tank is not drilled Can I drop the water level considerably and putting holes in the tank I do feel comfortable making holes. I have experience with cutting and putting holes in glass, but would the possibility of introducing glass particles and cutting media to the tank make this a no-no? If I were to do this would I need to transfer all tank contents over to a holding tank first, even my rock and sand?

i would drain it completely. i wouldn't worry about glass dust, as your drilling from outside. put a rag on the inside to catch any dust when it breaks thru.

Look at the pic and see I used a cup as a dam with some silicone around the bottom also to know if its tempered, look at it through some 3D glasses that you get at the movies and you should see some crossing lines in the glass. There is a youtube video on this.
