I just saw guy's post on Facebook. He is going to drill overflow and return on tank. Tank is full and fully stocked, looks like 300gal. I'm thinking not the best idea. Your thoughts?

i would do that. Doesn’t sound like a smart idea, seems like to much of a risk to lose everything if something goes wrong.I just saw guy's post on Facebook.

It would seem keeping the drillbit cool would be a challenge. I assume the holes would be at the top of the tank but any cracks would be disastrous if they propagate downwards. In short I think it an uneccesary gamble. Removing fish, rock and coral for a day is no big thing.
He is drilling while tank is full and stocked, he just lowered water 8''I have drilled numerous holes in glass tanks.Did some on the bottom if not tempered glass and on sides for over flows.The trick is you must support the glass so it doesn't move at all.When I was doing it we used water and a compound to drill with.The water keeps it cool while drilling.I would never do it dry like I have seen with diamond drills.One small mistake and its all over using water and of course a proper stand to holed the drill dead straight is a must.Not for a beginner.
