no try ebay, ill try and find a link and you cannot drill the base as it is probably toughened glass and will crack if drilled do it in the bottom side and id go for a 44-50mm hole then you can use the b&q fittings |

when you say 44-50mm do you mean 1 hole 44mm and the other 50mm so i drill into the back off the tank then do both holes go at the bottom or 1 at the bottom and 1 at the top are there any websites were i can see photos off tanks thet have been drilled so i can get a rough idear |
