I was afraid you would say that. As for this bulkhead, I don't think it comes off. It seems to be siliconed on. I guess I could seal it and do a hole on the other end.
I presume I'd need this:

and

Would I need anything else, like an overflow box if I just drilled it right at the top of the water line?
Also, I have an old 10 gallon with a broken back, I was thinking maybe I could practice drilling on it first? Thoughts?

What size of bulk head flange are you planning on using ?

The one inch one. That was what you recommended, right?

Yes, just keep in mind you will need about a 1 3/4" hole for a 1" bulk head flange will fit through

Hmm, can't seem to find that size bit on Amazon.
Well, one thing I think I'll do is see if I can't figure out a way to pry off that bulkhead that's on it now next time I go out to where I'm keeping it.

Well, I just went and tried to cut out the bulkhead with a razor and it actually came out.
The hole itself is around 1 and 1/8th of an inch thick. So, can I drill around it?

And if so, would it work with this?

You can, but it might be a little difficult to do. I would suggest follow the steps that I explained in the below thread with one big difference. Do this in your yard/driveway and use a garden hose to run water over the bit as you are drilling the hole. It might be best to have someone else hold/use the hose to keep water flowing over the bit while you are drilling the hole

As for the drill bit, I would suggest getting your bulk head flange first. That way you can double check the size of hole that you need before spending money on a drill bit. You can find the odd flange that is a little different than most. Better safe than sorry

Think it might not be a better idea to just plug this hole and drill the other side or would that weaken the glass?

That would weaken the glass but I'm not sure it would to the point where it'd be an issue... however it would definitely be a major eye sore

Someone else suggested a dremel kit might work for enlarging the hole.
I've never used one before, though, and like I said, really really thick glass.
