Its a whole lot harder with the smaller panes of glass, even if you build a damn with oil, dremil isn't going to do it. Most use a special glass hole saw, many of which cost over $200 bucks. I have seen much cheaper on line before.
Also most 10 gallon tanks are completely tempered glass. You may want to check with your manfacturer before proceding.

thanks for the info, I will try to find out if it is or isn't all tempered glass, I thought recently I saw a link to a sight that showed a guy cutting a hole in a ten gallon, I did a searchon bulkheads and got nothin.
