acrylic is infinitely easier (and cheaper) to drill, but might be as expensive or more so for a smaller tank.

acrylic is very easy to drill. the only precaution i would say is to make sure you keep the bit cool....if you can have a bit of water running over the drilling area, that's the best way to go.
here's a few articles about working with acrylic...even one specifically dealing with a refugium http://www.aquaforums.com/forums/ind...b1cfa8403b5ccb http://www.aquaforums.com/forums/ind...b1cfa8403b5ccb http://www.aquaforums.com/forums/ind...b1cfa8403b5ccb http://www.duboisi.com/[acronym:1b465253f6="Do it yourself"]diy[/acronym:1b465253f6]/BNdiytank/bndiytank.htm
