glass-holes.com and there are alot more on the net. use water, or you can get a lube.. I just used water. secret is to not push, let the holesaw do the work. drill a hole thru a piece of acrylic the same size (1.75") and tape it, or have someone hold it in place where you want the hole so it doesn't wander over the tank as your drilling. be careful as the dust created is glass (slivers, not fun) and if drilling a side put something in the tank (towel) so it isn't dropping the cut part onto the other side. and dont drill tempered glass. 10 and 20 gallons shouldn't be a problem. I chose AGA since they have a chart on the website about the tempering of their tanks.

you can start dripping in SG matched fresh saltwater to help dilute ammonia, nitrite, ect.. remember... slowly... also you could siphon off the bottom things that are obvious- (dead fish, dead blown off eggs,ect). if you heat the rigid airline tubing you can bend it.. just remember, no rapid changes in the water,, SG, temp,ect.
can you measure ammonia, nitrite?? |

I would use fresh saltwater, let it mix a day before use.. I make it 55 gallons at a time. if you used water from the mother tank I guess it would be ok. you just want water with no ammonia, ect. to dilute into the tank with the babies. maybe filter the water thru a screen to filter out unknowns? and clownfish are the rabbits of the oceans. you'll run out of tanks quick. I don't know of acrylic tanks in the 3-5 gallon range..

Ok bought a few small reptile aquariums $10.00 going to drill a few holes & see If what I think will work, will really work before I spend $$$$$ on acrylic!
