I recently purchased an Aqueon 75 gallon aquarium. The plan was to upgrade from our 12+ year old 55gallon (not drilled) and finally be able to use a sump. I knew that Aqueon uses tempored glass for the bottoms of their tanks and it's my understanding that trying to drill tempored glass will result in shattered glass (I've also seen some info online saying it must be tempored glass for drilling, so please confirm which type of glass I want). Assuming tempored glass is bad for drilling I wasn't concerned about the bottom glass since I was planning to drill the back glass.
However... here's the potential issue. While looking for info on drilling tanks I ran across this bit of text on Aqueon's website:
"Aqueon Glass Aquariums Tempered vs. Non Tempered: Due to glass availability, Central Aquatics may temporarily substitute regular or non-tempered glass panels with tempered glass panels. Anytime a glass substitution is made, a sticker will be adhered to the aquarium bottom as a precaution to the end user."
So, I went over to the tank and I found this sticker (see photo)
Can someone confirm that this is the "we used tempered glass on your entire tank, if you drill it IT WILL BREAK!!!" sticker referenced on their website?
Has anyone seen this sticker and drilled sucessfully?
Thanks In Advance!
