Drilling glass
I am soon going to be drilling a hole into my tank to accomodate a sump - only issue is the tank is full. With some help, i have an overflow box inside and so drilling the hole behind this shouldnt creat any issues as all the dust will fall into the box and not the tank.
I was wondering if i lowered the water level, can i drill a hole for a return while there is water in the tank? I would be carefult to catch all the dust/shavings that come off however im unsure as to if the weight of the water will make the glass crack easily? My alternative for the return is to just run the piping over the top of the tankand back down into the water but it doesnt look very nice -
Any tips on drilling glass would be greatly appriciated!
