Drill a tank?

[shanev]

Can a normal 20 long or 29 high bottom be drilled? How can you tell if its tempered (sp?) glass. Does anyone know of a brand that size that could be drilled?
Loooking to put on an existing stand of 31 X 13.
Thanks!

Just about any size tank can be drilled. Now I'm not sure how you can tell if the bottom is tempered glass.

what brand of tank is it? Look up the manufactures website and it should tell you. I know all-glass and oceanic's sites will. Most small tanks (ie under 55g)I believe have tempered bottoms.

I was thinking of going oceanic, but there website doesnt go all the way down to individual product, just product line. Ill look into all-glass.
Thanks

All-Glass has tempered bottoms. All-Glass company owns Oceanic so it's a good possibility that there bottoms are tempered as well.
Best bet is to research tank manufacturers and call each one and ask them if they temper the bottom glass. Another option would be to buy an acrylic tank.

All-Glass has tempered bottoms
Not true. I have a brand new all-glass 120 and bottom is not tempered. All glass site will tell you

I looked at the all glass site and I cant find out either way. Am II just missing it?
