Can you drill a 34 Gallon solana?

Ok Brains, I have a 34 gallon solana all in one, can I drill this back wall and put in an overflow or what? It's an older tank. I know three viewing panels are sapphire.

Although many people on this forum may have Solana AIO tanks, few have probably ever had the need to drill this type of tank. Your absolute best chances of getting a correct answer to this particular question, and not a lot of guesses here, would be to go directly to the manufacturer, especially if you have an older model. They will know what type of glass they have used on the back and bottom of the tank and whether it's drillable or not.
Most likely however it will not be drillable as this defeats the purpose of AIO tanks.

I hope I can mod this tank. I love the sapphire panels. Getting that extra 4 inches with nice sump will make this tank killer. I have a nice eshopps r-100 sump I want to use

I drilled mine, successfully. It took me awhile to muster the courage.

Nonetheless...there were no problems.
