I was told by a glass place in Bay Minette that it had to be untempered glass to be able to drill it without cracking it. It might be worth checking on. You might want to call them. Bay Minette Glass ( 937-9659).

That is true.... it cannot be tempered glass. Most new tanks that are tempered have a warning sticker somewhere on them stating not to drill.
What I am wondering is if they guarantee not to break the tank on untempered work?

Most of the time just the bottom pane of glass is tempered. It cannot be drilled within reason (something about a LAZER) without shattering. You can measure the thickness of the glass and compare it to another tank that you know has untempered glass. The tempered will be thinner. I don't believe that any place, including Oceanview, guarantees that the pane they are drilling will not break.

oceanview tanks arent tempered except the 55 gallon and its onlythe bottom glass...also, they'll put a sticker saying its tempered...

Hey Mike,
If I brought my tank to you at work how much would it cost to send it off and get 4 holes drilled and how long would it take?

prolly cost around 8 bucks a hole and oceanview will be dropping by soon, so if you want it done, let me know asap

if you wait to pick it up from the store, it will be 10 a hole, if you pick it up from the facility, they will charge you 5.95 a hole...
