Drilling Side of Tank Already Set Up

[Eboman]

Anyone ever tried to drill the side of a tank already set up.

The reason I ask....I'm wanting to drill a hole in the side of my sump, which is stuck underneath my loaded 210gallon (no....I can't get it out without a major breakdown of the system).

I've drilled tanks before....but never one at a 90-degree angle. I've always had them flat with a nice resevoir of water to keep things cool.

I don't mind burning up a bit or two to make the hole.

Any thoughts???

Thanks,
Eric

i dont know about the drilling part, but what if you crack the sump
glass?

do you have a disaster recovery plan in case you mess up?
