How easy is it? I have a non starfire 90g, that has 1 drain. The noise is to much. I want to drill 3 holes on the back wall for a bean style drain or a ghost overflow. How hard is it to drill and what tips can anyone give.

you would need a diamond drill bit for sure. do not drill directly onto glass, has to be in an angle, then gradually straight. make sure to apply cold water intermittently to avoid heat.

Very easy, just let the drill do the work and go slow . wear some protective garment or throw away shirt, because the fragment will get on your clothes.

Real easy. Bring it down and I'll drill it for you
Well that's the problem. I dont want to take it all the way down.... lol. There is still fish in it. I was just gonna drain a little water and drill it.
