If possible, use a masonary bit, it makes it a tad easier.
Make sure you DO NOT use a hammer drill
Go slow.
Wear Eye protection and breathing protection. It'll cause quite a bit of fine dust to fly.

Granite itself would be OK, but check to see if it has been treated or stabilized in anyway...most are...I don't know specifics about the treatments, there are so many of them. Also, make sure it is granite and not marble which could raise your pH.
Silicone should also work if you don't want to drill...215g Malawi Peacocks and Mbuna
180g Tropheus Ikola and Bemba and Clown Loaches
58g Bristlenose breeding and grow out

carbide tipped dril bit and brass wood screws.
ceramic tile works well also'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Stainless steel screws would not put any copper into the water; but the amount coming from a couple of brass screws would not be a problem. Mostly the stainless is stronger.
The screws will hold longer in the wood if you use the plastic inserts (rawls ?) for drywall .
Hammer drill will be dramatically faster than a standard drill. I have not had problems with them. As the carbide/masonery bit breaks out on the back is when you may get some chipping.
I am going to have to try the hammer drill on glass and see what happens.
