Drilling a Biocube 29

[nitro]

Hello,
Has anyone drilled the back glass of a Biocube 29? I want to know if the glass is tempered or not.
Thanks, Nitro

I am going to follow along with this. I am currently building out a new tank and when it is done I am moving everything from my BioCube to the new tank. When I get everything moved I am thinking about drilling my BioCube so I can add a sump to it. I was also thinking about drilling the bottom glass in the first back compartment but felt like it was most likely tempered.

I thought the back of the Biocubes were plastic, someone correct me if I'm wrong though. I know its been done before because I have seen pics of it somewhere.

There is an inner plastic wall but the outer wall is glass. They built it out of glass so you could do a fuge in the middle back chamber if you wanted.

Yes, the back is glass as I removed the inner plastic baffle and that is what I want to drill.

I am thinking of doing this to my sons tank. Let me know it goes for you.

Also does anyone know the voltage and amperage the transformer for the accent lights put out? I just want a moonlight. But dont like the stock one.
