I want to cut holes/ drill holes in tank bottom, what kind of bit or hole saw is required. Thanks for entertaining me, Bigffish

Many tank bottoms are tempered. You can NOT drill tempered glass. Check with the manufacturer to see if it is tempered.

the way to tell if it's tempered is to run a glass gutter across it. if it's difficult to score, then it's tempered. but if it scores easily...you're good to go. and to answer your other question, you need a diamond blade. or, have your local glass shop do it for you.

I certainly would not score tempered glass... it may very quickly lose it's temper (no pun).
