Drilling My 30 gal glass tank

[fishflyer]

So I am thinking of drilling my 30 gal AGA tank. The AGA website says under technical info that this tank does not have tempered glass.

Any thoughts?

I would check with them directly to just make sure, Most newer tanks from my experience have a tempered glass bottom. John

Only glass they AGA has tempered is the bottom panel Its a simple drill for them just make a damn with Plumbers putty and fill it with about 1/8 deep cooking oil or 3and 1 will also work Drill at a medium speed and steady pressure and use a towel folded as a backing on the inside of the tank that will keep the bit from chipping the last cut. If you have access to a drill press all the better same method for oiling the bit just let the press do the work. Perfecto is not a good one to do I had them tell me twice that a particular tank was not tempered LOL KAAABOOM. But AGA are never tempered other then the bottom.

I used water instead of oil but I guess ether will do. Just one more tip don't push on the drill when you are drilling as it will cause chipping of the glass.

So no drilling the bottom I guess.
I will try to call them Monday.
