If you are after some bits try this company, reasonable prices and excellent delivery. Ordered early afternoon and on the table next morning.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't actually need that much water to drill a tank, a glass of water and a small syringe or pipette would suffice. You don't actually need a running hose, just enough water to wet the hole saw. Start off by drilling it dry so that the hole saw bites and marks the glass then put a small amount of water onto the glass then with the pipette, put small amounts at a time to keep it wet and after a few minutes, the hole will be cut.
Don't forget, let the drill do the work (don't push onto the drill).
I would recommend using a cordless drill with torque settings rather than a mains drill which I think, spins too fast.

Will keep you posted

Do a test drill on an old tank or a scrap piece of glass first.
That's what I did.
