hey guys,
So i have a aquatop recife 40 gallon cube reef tank AIO system and i recently purchased a new sump to replace the AIO back unit. i want to add a sump so i called the manufacture to see if i can drill the glass to attach a overflow i bought from BRS. they said no its not drill able so i guess its tempered? so i went to the local glass shop and had them make me a piece of glass to replace the back and for them to drill holes in it for the overflow. Cube back glass panel is 21.7 inches by 21.7 inches. its also 8 mm thick .314inches. the glass i got is 22 by 22 and .25 inches thick. it was a piece they already had and was cheaper then to get one cut exaclty to that size will this be a problem ? i doubt the width and length being 00.4 inches bigger would matter much but is the thickness .25 too thin for a 40 gallon tank ? as i said the orginal glass was .314 8mm?
