tank drilling

[littlelil]

Hi, this might've been discussed already, but i coudln't find anything in the search feature

I am going to drill a hole in the bottom corner of the (front/back pane) of my tank to drain water from

1) From what i read,  canus and M&T glass would be best to get just one hole drilled, but M&T has become expensive lately? So go with canus? and they drill tanks that are in tact?

2) what size am I drilling? i have a tube that has an ID of 1/2" that I would like to attach to the inside of the tank and to the outside. Is there a bulkhead(?) that would accomodate this tube? Is a bulkhead like those tiny tube-attachment things that attaches two tubes together, and sometimes even has a three-prong.. i'm looking for that to put on the hole...

i have no idea what i'm doing.... please help! 

thanks!

I had my tank drilled at M & T glass 5 weeks ago.  It costed me around $30.00.
My tank was drilled intact aswell.
They did a pretty good job to.  The tank wasn't scratched at all either.
Thanks

Unless the tank is acrylic Canus will be of no use. They do not work with glass.
