johnnybv November 5, 2008 Share November 5, 2008 Just found out that all AGA aquariums < 90 gal are tempered on all panes now! So if you are planning on drilling them, they will shatter. Be sure to inquire about tank brands when you buy if you plan to drill them. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L8 2 RISE November 5, 2008 Share November 5, 2008 I love the title, and they will have to drill the glass before you tempered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybv November 6, 2008 Author Share November 6, 2008 IS THIS ON ALL NEW MODELS FOR 2009? this is as of about 2 weeks ago as far as I heard from my rep. How do they drill them, then? if they are drilling them, they will be custom made tanks, they will not use tempered glass on the pane that is being drilled.

Rascal November 6, 2008 Share November 6, 2008 On still another note I recently found out that on some tanks (brand unknown, got it used), the front and back panes may be tempered even though the left and right panes on the end are not. So even if you have already drilled a couple of holes in the end panes and confidently try to add a hole to the front pane, . . . the results can be quite spectacular. And on a final note, a 55 gallon rubbermaid container seems to work quite well as a sump and will not shatter no matter how many holes you drill in it.
