Not sure

I’m not sure where to ask this question.
Is it possible to have the holes that are drilled into a tank plugged???
I received a tank with the two holes drilled next to each other in left hand back corner,, I would like to have them plugged so I can drill holes up top of the back of the tank,, like I have other one

I would suggest a low profile bulkhead with a plug, but you'd have to make sure the tank didn't rest on them.

A generous amount of silicon around the holes with a piece of glass pressed down on the inside will work well. Place a sand bag on toot press it into place and let it set for 24 hours.

Then apply silicon around the edge of the glass patch. Also, any silicon that oozes onto the hole should be smoothed out from the underside.

I've done this and it works. The tank has been leak free since I started running water in it. It is 696 days old as of this post.

I would just cut a square piece of acrylic, glass world also work and silicone it down over the holes on the inside of the tank. I've seen allot of ppl do that with success

That’s exactly what I plan on doing thank you so much for confirming my thoughts

Well I placed glass pieces on the top and bottom of drilled holes, only had enough silicone to get them to stay so I need to get some more to seal throughly
