Is my tank safe to drill?

I have a 30g tank which is made by aqueon and has no stickers on it saying "do not drill". How would I go about finding out if its ok to drill or not?

 

The bottom glass usually will have a sticker stating if its tempered glass. Most tank side walls are glass and safe to drill. You could always try to contact the manufacture. Luna

 

The sides should be safe to drill if it's Aqueon. As said by LUNA, call the manufacturer tomorrow to find out.

 

here is a link to the pdf on there site. no its not tempered if its the standard 30g.

grab a pair of polarized sun glasses. If you can see strange marks on the glass then it is tempered. If not you should be good to go. This only works with polarized glasses tho

 

Nifty - never knew that. Cool tip.

 

I googled and googled before I attempted drilling my 150 gallon because it's an older tank and I have no clue who made it. I just wanted to be sure.

 

that makes sense.. and I believe now that my tank is ready to drill..

 

Can the sunglasses trick be done with water in the tank or does it have to be empty? Thanks Rob

 

Any quality glass shop will have a Tempered Glass Detector , I have one that I brought after Perfecto cost me 3 tanks . Told me ea was not tempered ): so I figured at that time I was drilling tanks damn near daily and I blew up a 150 a 200 and my 47 hex.. all brand new I got the 200.00 meter It worls
