Tetra tanks.. Tempered or not???

[by1123]

We just upgraded from our 30 gallon to 55
Got the tank from ***** it is a tetra brand does
Anyone know if the sides are tempered too?? We want
To drill a hole for our sump and skimmer but I can't find
Anywhere that says so.
Let me know. And also is there any issues drilling the hole up
Top on the tank about 3-5 inches blow the rim?

Most likely. What is the exact wording on the sticker on the bottom of the tank?

I saw the same tanks. Yes it is tempered glass

The smaller Tetra tanks are only tempered on the bottom.

The problem with drilling high on the glass is that there's no water pressure to force the water out. That's easily solved by drilling larger or more holes.

I just bought one to setup my system a few weeks ago..i got a 40B though and only the bottom was tempered with a sticker. I drilled a hole in the back just fine. I dont know if the 55's are the same
