Brian Ward July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 99.99% sure, sides only. bottom is almost always tempered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 I am pretty sure 40 gallon breeders from Aqueon (AGA) do not have tempered bottoms. But Top fin 40 gallon breeders do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sde219 July 26, 2009 Share July 26, 2009 I am about 90% sure you can drill that tank's bottom. I bought it to drill it and had checked things out - not all manufacturers were using tempered on 18" width at that point. Tempered bottoms did not used to be standard on 40g tanks when I bought that about 4.5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryL July 26, 2009 Share July 26, 2009 most new tanks will have a sticker on the bottom that say tempered. i just did the back to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalid July 27, 2009 Share July 27, 2009 I drilled my Aqueon (AGA) 40 breeder on the bottom it wasn't a problem. The glass is not tempered and you can go to their website and they list all their tanks and whether or not they have tempered glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
