    Drlling a glass tank

    Most AGA sides aren't bottom are. Best to email them wih tank size and ask. You need these diamond coated hole saws they can be found cheap on the auction site 45mm-1 inch bulkhead 60mm-1.5 inch bulkhead 85mm- 2 inch bulkhead (83mm would be better, a 2 in bulkhead requires a 3.25 in hole)
