is this the standard 55? 48" X 12" X 18"?
are you thinking of a 360 degree walk around tank? kinda hard with those dimensions.
the first thing you need to figure out is if the bottom is tempered or not. if tempered, it would be better to just get another tank. if not than proceed.
i have drilled many tanks, i have only used a diamond drill. they are expensive, but i trust this more than using a dremel bit. then again the dremel would be less expensive since you will prolly want at least 2 different sized holes. one for overflow and one for return. of course there could be more for a CLS, but it could get crowded under there.

It was like the easiest thing ever, i didnt think i was ever gonna get to invest in a sump whew!!! so i now i have to decide if i can drill the tank i have or muy one already drilled what do yall think can one do it ones self or can local shops be trusted??? can i get a bulkhead, and i can get it drilled for a CL man their are so amny possibiliteis i feel like i ahve been let free oh it is awesome!!what should i do about a sump buy one or can i easily make one out of a 30 gal or something how should it be laid out, the plans for the tank are mosly softies and lps until i build up the courage to try SPS or feel my tank is clean enough for it because i plan on having a SSB becase im just not sold on the BB look.
