Oh, weak!

Maybe this is the chance to put in a non-tempered back and that special front glass you were talking about? Sounds pricey though.....

=Jwin= · 03-19-2009, 11:48 AM

Booooo hisssssss. un temper it

What are you gonna do with it now?

And with that xenia, some xenia types grow like a weed no matter what. And some are actually nice and don't grow too fast. It all just depends on what type you have.

I don't know. They didn't try or anything, so its not broke. I think I will most likely just run HOB overflows

Eh just keep them clean and you'll live. Cosmetically drilled tanks look neater, but your tank is so flippin huge no one is going to care.

How much would they charge to replace the back pane of glass with a new pane? I would only drill a tank of that size. Heck, after experiencing the joys of a drilled tank, that's the only way I'd roll. But like jwin said, most likely nobody will care - grow some GSP on the overflows like someone else on here did

Pack you need to think hard before you act on this one now. From reading this thread and talking with you a bit off line I know you want to get this tank perfect. With that said if you have to replace the back glass and wait a bit longer I think you will be happier in the long run. you will have a cleaner looking tank. Just my opinion but I would replace it so that later after it is filled up you wont say I wish I did.

There is no rush just get it done right

Only the bottom is tempered, or the back and sides are both tempered?
