 To Drill Or Not To Drill ... Ok guys ... i was gonna drill my tank for my overflows bc ive heard many bad things about the hang-ons ... but today i noticed a big orange stricker on my tank: "TEMPERED GLASS ... DO NOT DRILL" ... Does this mean that I cannot drill my tank for an overflow now?  (BTW ... this sticker was on the bottom of my tank if that matters at all) Last edited by casino royale; 12-23-2007 at 06:39 PM.  |

 Re: To Drill Or Not To Drill ... It depends on who made the tank.Almost all tank bottoms are tempered and should not be drilled.One way to tell but I wont gaurentee it is temperd glass is much thinner than regular glass.If the bottom is tempered and the sides are not you can drill the sides.If its a new tank or one you are sure of the age,call the manufacturer they will be happy to tell you. |
