Vivarium Construction topic ideas?

All I saw was mention that you need to use a diamond tip to drill it. Could he have included it in a video I can't watch at work? LOL

If you go to YouTube and search for drilling aquariums will find several tutorials in there. Basic steps are to lay enclosure so glass being drilled is on top. Create a little dam with plumbers putty and fill with water to keep drill bit and glass cool. Slowly drill with glass drill bit holding drill weight off glass and keeping perpendicular to surface; specially as drill finishes cut through glass.

Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Re: Vivarium Construction topic ideas?
yup, that about covers it.the only things i would add: if possible, support the bottom of the glass so you don't get any chipping, and read your drill bit packaging. some work only at low speeds, and others will only cut efficiently at high speeds.

Oy that all scares me. I will have to try it on an old tank before I ever do it on a big one I think.

As a complete newbie who has been reading all the stickies and searching as much as possible before posting...
1. Getting started with automatically controlled humidity and light.
2. A beginners guide to live plants.
3. An FAQ list of links to places to buy the stuff people often refer to on here.
