Make sure to have some padding under the hole for when the glass pieces falls out. Keep your drill on a low torque setting and nice even drill speed. Start the hole on an angle and as it starts to make a groove, straight the drill to 90 deg angle. DO NOT push down on the drill, let the bit do the work. You can stop to make sure it is drilling fine and to add more water if need.

    Look up some videos on drilling glass tanks to see what I mean.
    Thanks Don. This information was just what I needed.

    Hi im in new zealand and we don't have any of this. but am looking to buy some in maybe.
    Was just wondering if the misters come in 1/4 and 3/8in, and is there any benefit to having one over the other. may be looking at using up to 20 misters and was wondering if the 1/4 tubing would be able to supply enough water to all misters

    Thanks Jason

    Hi Jason, Yes I believe the 1/4 inch tubing would be enough but yo can check with Mist King and I'm sure they will have a more detailed reply.

    DonLisk did you ever drill your 5/8" holes for the mistking nozzles? If so, how'd it go? Where did you get the bit? I'm going to need to do it as well
