    I am taking my 93 gallon cube down after 3 years, i am going to restart the tank, but want to drill it before I do.
    Does anyone know if a non drilled marine land cube is drillable ?
    Marineland certainly won't answer this ?

    That's funny I was just looking at the ML cubes. I would assume its the same glass as the RR but have been taught not to do that.;D

    It should be non tempered. I had a 27 cube from Marineland that I wasn't sure i would be able drill. I reached out to Marineland and they told me it was non tempered.

    Ask them, they should tell you.

    Whilst I turn the tank off I am going to reseal and replace the silicone, as the silicone that's currently there appears to be fraying at the edges.
    What's the best way ?
    I wil thinking about just cutting the silicone from the glass and putting a new bead on and using the beading tool (finger) to finish the bead off. OR do I need to remove it all and start from fresh ?

    I am no expert, but from what I have read in the past, I believe the common recommendation is to remove all of it and start fresh.
