Cannot be.

You need the glass to rest flat then can do drilling

Side very hard.

The glass will crack easily

my dad has done drilling on the side of glass, with tank water reduced to half..

u need a drill with the diamond cutter.. and use masking tape to tape up a border, and keep adding water as u drill slowly.. so far, 4 holes in my dad's 10mm tank, and 2 holes in a smaller 2ft seahorse tank..

but u need to be really careful, and its a risk.. especially there's livestocks in the tank..

I did the same thing. Got a diamond drill bit to make the hole. can be done. tank was 6mm thick. haven't tried on anything thicker though.
