Tip of the Day – 10/8/2012

When drilling an aquarium for plumbing hardware, be sure to take your time and use something to stabilize the drill as you make your way through the glass. Despite using a diamond-tipped hole bit and trying your best to move slowly and methodically, you will likely push through the aquarium too fast, causing either excessive pressure or a jumping drill to damage the tank. And when it does, the damage is usually extensive enough to ruin the entire tank.
