Fuge build dilemma

Ok, I am trying to build a nice little fuge for my 20 g prop tank. The dimensions I need is 18 by 18 by 16 tall. Since no one makes this, can I use one of the cheap in store acrylic tanks everyone is selling these days and drill the back for the fuge?

I'm talking about tanks like a Seaclear or something like it which are within the size I need. Has anyone ever drilled one of these tanks for a bulkhead?




Thanks

Yes, just use a hole saw applying not to much pressure and you good to go.

Almost any container will do. I know people who have used Rubbermaid tubs for a fuge with great success.

I might put a fish in it, so I'd like a clear view of things in it.
