As to the original question, it *can* be done with some risk. There are table saw blades and router blades that can cut glass (for example, Grouper Therapy cut a big square center brace into an "I" shape without removing it from the tank). My worry would be the last part of the cut, when the weight of the attached panels that have already been cut are weighing on the remaining uncut glass.

I'm not sure where the 55 gallon are almost always tempered, I bet I've drilled a dozen or more.holabird;703801 wrote: Not this one. I already have a hole cut in the side for the return plumbing. Bottom is tempered but not the sides.
