Drilling My Tank
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how hard it is to drill 3/8 thick glass and is it worth the hassle

it's worth it,
IMO
. It's a challenge, but completely doable. Patience is key and research how to do it first to avoid any mistakes.

The best way is to take it to a glass shop! I got mine done (3 holes) for around $30-$40,
IMO
a safer choice worth the money
