QuoteReplyTopic: drilling a 55 gallon Posted: February 25 2013 at 4:47pm
we are thinking about drilling our 55 instead of doing a hob filter. but we don't have the equipment. I don't even know what kind of glass this tank is made out of. I hear that matters. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
If the glass is tempered the second the drill touches it the whole thing shatters in to tiny pieces. There's a laptop test and polarized sunglasses but I can't remember what the difference looks like. I had my tank drilled at Reefon for good price. But if you are close to Pete have him do it, better price.
On a standard 55 gallon tank, the bottom is tempered, so we can't drill there. But I'm more than happy to drill a couple holes in the back of the tank free of charge.
Let me know which day works for you!
