Hi everyone! I have a 210 gallon tank that I finally have made the decisions of which overflow box and return sizes I will be using and now have everything I need to actually do the drilling.
The questions I have are about temperatures of the glass while drilling. The high temperatures outside this week are only going to be in the low 40s Fahrenheit and during the night it gets below freezing. Right now the tank is in my garage which is uninstalled so it is quite cold in there as well. My plan is to move it outside for a couple of hours mid day so it is as warm as it can be and then drill it. Is there a worry of drilling glass when the temps are this cold? Will it increase the chances of the glass breaking? Should I not do it that way and find a way to do it inside my house? Or am I being overly worried?
