Hi all,
I'm in the process of setting up a 75 Aqueon tank - will drill the side ( side not tempered front and back are tempered).
Does anybody know what the catastrophic failure rate is for drilled vs nondrilled. I'm guessing probably not but it's worth an ask. Aqueon said - drill the tank at your own risk and it voids the warranty. Are the new big-box-store tanks cutting corners with thinner glass -so thin -that it's a structural danger to drill an overflow?
Experienced input appreciated.
Thanks
Aqueon :
Thanks for reaching out. Any panel of any tank has the potential of being tempered due to manufacturing flexibility and glass supply. We recommend you checking the panel with a polarized lens to see if it's tempered or not.
Please be advised that any modifications or alterations done to the tank itself will void the warranty.
