I drilled a tank with a diamond hole saw and it was glass. Can I use the same saw on the acrylic? And do I need to keep spraying water on the hole when drilling it?

Perfect thank you. Do I use the middle part that it comes with? I took it out for when I was doing the glassNo, you'll want to use a traditional hole saw for acrylic.
Diamond grit hole saws don’t cut as much as they grind .... completely inappropriate for acrylic where you actually are cutting. Any good quality bimetal is my go to for holes in plastic.
yep, that'll work
will this work? Just went to Home Depot and got this

Yeah costed almost $20 for it. I paid $50 for the diamond ones at Home Depot. Should’ve gotten them online but oh wellThe only downfall of that bit; they’re expensive! Haha
But yep, that’s all good for acrylic

Tank is butted up against a wall, no access to other side, can only drill from inside.Just make sure your far enough away from the joint or edge for the bulkhead nut and flange.
Start on the one side. When the center bit punches through. Finish drilling from other side to prevent any punchout
