Can someone lend a diamond hole saw for bulkhead?

I need to cut the side of a cheap-o Petsmart $10 tank. I am going to cut it for a 3/4" bulkhead - does anyone have one they can lend me for a day?

Thanks.

If you can't find someone closer you can bring to tank out my way and we can drill it on the spot. I offer no guarantee as the thinner you get with the glass the easier it is to crack it.

If you're trying to drill one of those cheap 10 gal tanks you might have a problem. I tried that once and I cracked two of them while I was able to drill 3 holes in a better quailty 20 gal tank with the same hole saw.

Great thing about those crappy tanks... they're cheap - lol. I wouldn't mind a 10-gallon acrylic if I could find one, can't seem to find one. They would be much easier to work with.

Save yourself some headaches and get an AGA 10. I have drilled a lot of the AGAs with no problem, but the cheapos break most of the time.

Can I get a 10-gallon AGA from your shop? I should be passing through that area this weekend en route to my Uncle's house in Stillman Valley.

I really need to get this taking care of by the end of this weekend, I need to get my sump situation finalzied and this is the last piece of the puzzle.
