I'm thinking of purchasing a 150 gal tank, 48x24x30. I want to get this tank drilled so I can use a sump and refuge system under the tank. But while inquireing about where to get this done. I keep getting that aquariums are tempered glass, and cannot be drilled. But I know I see it done all the time on these DIY sites. Then I told the bottoms are tempered glass, the sides aren't. Which is ok, I plan on getting 3 holes in the back. My question is, "Is there a way to tell if a tank is tempered glass before you purchase it? No since buying it if I can't drill it. Is there a mark, or is glass different color tint? :notsure:
