To Drill or not to Drill

[fish scales2]

Na no problem, the best thing to do is call the manufacturer. :yes:

If you want to see if glass is tempered or not, take it outside in the sunshine and look at it through a pair of sunglasses that are polarized. If the glass is tempered it will look funny (sort of an x pattern.)

If you look at the rear window of any car you will see what I am talking about.

There is a picture of it on this link.

Let Chris do it. He does this stuff all day and can really help you out. If you can't afford to buy another tank, I wouldn't risk it.

Oh, my bad.

I don't have any experience with purchasing overflow boxes, but I bet if Chris drilled your tank, he could build you a box as well.

If you go the DIY route then Glass Holes is the way to go. Good quality stuff.

Put your tank in your vehicle and drive to the store. I have a DIY workshop for ARC users and I will be happy to help you drill your tank and help you build your own overflow box.
