Need to drill a couple of holes in my tank. Instead of going and buying one for just this tank I was hoping somebody in the Ogden area might have one I could borrow or rent for a day. Let me know and thanks in advance.

If you make it idiot proof, someone will find a better idiot!
Well 100g crashed when I moved it. Starting a 50g cube now.
You don't really need a drill press guide to drill holes. You can do it a few ways, you can take a 1/2-3/4" thick piece of wood and drill out a hole the same size as the glass bit and clamp it down on the glass and then drill away with your glass bit or if you just want to do it without a jig you can just start the bit at a slight angle till it gets a small groove going and then hold it straight up and continue drilling I have done this method many times and always get good results.
