I may use a 75 gallon tank for a sump to save some time, although I'm not sure if I can drill into the side panels, Aqueon lists the 75 gallon as featuring a tempered bottom, but not to sure if they made the sides tempered too. I've come across some threads that show people drilling the side panels successfully and others finding out its tempered. Anyone here drill one for their sump?
You can tell if a glass panel is tempered by placing a smartphone, tablet or laptop screen on one side of the glass panel and view it through polaroid sunglasses on the other side. If it appears with many hairline cracks all over the panel, it's tempered. If not you're all good.
