    Well, doing some drilling tomorrow on my 90g. It has the glass brace over the center top. It is the 48"L X 24"H X 18"D.

    Question: Where is the best location to drill? Center, Right, Left? I'm using a gl*******s kit. :confused:

    Seabass, I think you will have to answer that question based on where the tank will be set up, How you want it to look and how it will be aquascaped. JMO

    Go slow and don't put pressure on the drill.

    Hey "Cabron", get back in bed....and stop thinking about that stuff or you'll go blind. :devil2:

    THE KIT IS FROM GLASS HOLES AND COMES WITH ALL THE STUFF TO DRILL HOLES IN A TANK, EVEN THE BIT, OVERFLOW, BALLAST, ETC. WHAT I NEED HELP WITH, IS THE BEST LOCATION ON THE TANK. HAS ANYONE USED THESE KITS? :confused:

    lol well to your question i really dont know.. but im guessing the left and right sides are the most stable? but not to much to the left or right or the glass will shatter.. ( im guessing all this is stuff u already know) sorry i couldnt be much help.. ...............and you sound like my mom lol;)

    you can drill the holes anywhere but not too close to the edge or each other there is a formula to use which im sure u can look up or someone else will paste it into here. you will be safer drilling near the corners but still fine to drill in the center of the glass.

    Yeah, thats more of what I was looking for.....like if anyone has had "catastrophes" of any king. I drilled a coupla times buy on an inside rim of a coupla tanks. Never on the side panes. Since this is my tank, I wanna be extra careful. :)
