Thanks Joey.

I think it should be drillable. And if it isnt its pretty fun to see what happens. I have tried to drill a tempered tank unknowingly and its pretty exciting when it shatters. Plus the 20 gallon tanks are pretty cheap so it isnt a huge loss.

They will randomly ship tanks with tempered glass. Get some polarized glasses and check if it's tempered before you drill.

that sounds so wonderful thanks aquaeon ha ha. looks like i"ll be seeing if I have some polarized glasses or not.
I want to make a shrimp reef tank, and not have to go out and get a over flow. was going to drill a 20g I have, and then use some pvc. thanks.

Cool are the glass drill bits at home depot any good?

 

[DaveG99]

Never used a home depot one. But you would think they would be OK.

I dont know. I have used the clubs bits before and they worked great. Its been a while but Im pretty sure the club still has bits for use by the members. If you order a glass holes overflow the bits come with it.

would 3/4 and 1 be to big for a drain and return on a 20g? was going to do a 10g as refuge/sump/return with a hob skimmer on the 10g in the stand to clean up the looks so all you see is the 20g on the stand, and lights hanging from the ceiling or from poles. do you have today. feel free to pm me.
