    Beer

    I knew someone on here would ask that. I used Blue Moon Belgian White. It works pretty good and I believe it was behind my success at drilling my tank. Thanks for asking.;)

    The funny thing is that the tank that happened to be tempered, that almost got the hole all the way through, was a 29g, just as yours was.

    Here is the aqueon/ AGA tank spec chart eluded to before.

    I leave beer and any alcohol out of delicate jobs like tank drilling. When the tricky work is done, then the beer gets opened.

    JM2cents.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    I like my beer, but if you break your tank and you had a drink, that will always make you wonder if that would have happened if you waited to have that drink.

    My motto is. "If in doubt, grab a stout"

    Of course. Im not known to limit it to just stout. How shallow minded would that be!
