      help! drilling a tank

      so here the issue. i have a Cobalt C-vue 45 AIO that’s been sitting around. Today, i decided to take a look and i noticed some major warping on the acrylic back panel. warped enough to separate the seams apart. my plan now is to pull all the baffles and back panel and turn it into a drilled tank. Can anyone point me to a direction or to someone that knows how to drill a tank please? any info or help will be much appreciated.

      I got a few diamond bits you could borrow if you'd like to attempt this on your own. It really isn't hard. Prep is key, plenty of water, start slow. I'd offer to do it for you but hate taking the risk on others tanks. There is always that slight chance it can Crack. I've done probably 30 ish holes on various thicknesses, only had 1 tank Crack, it was a super thin petco brand 10g tank
