      so I re did it with some epoxy that is good for underwater and glass... it set up in an hr and was already harder then the silicone ever got... we shall see the test after 24hrs :)

  3. Does anyone know if you can still drill the side of a tank if the bottom is tempered???? Also is it safe to remove the plastic ring from a 40gal breeder tank??? Thanks in advance!!

      Awesome thanks for letting me know... I am going for a 40gal breeder that does not have a center brace thats why I was hoping that it would be ok to remove... how would I know if its tempered and could a place like HD or Lowes tell me... (they are closest) thanks in advance

    3. All WYSIWYG

      All WYSIWYG

      If it does not have a center brace you can remove the trim without any problems, the trim offers no support. Yes you can drill the sides if the bottom is tempered, like jestep said.

      This trick works.

      http://www.salt-city.org/showthread.php?9542-How-to-tell-if-glass-is-tempered

      And I can tell you from experience, some 55g tank sides are most certainly tempered. *boom* Haven't had that happen again since I started using the test in that link.

      nope. Freon has been illegal, AFAIK, for some time except to licensed AC people. Call a shop or home AC place.

      looking to get bulk heads drilled its 40gal breeder so moving it shouldnt be an issue

    4. (Bio)³

      (Bio)³

      What size you need the holes? I have an inch and half inch glass hole saws. I've drilled with good success. If the tank was north I'd cut the holes for you and you just install bulkheads. Like everyone else that drills. Not responsible if it breaks but I don't charge 20 a hole like everywhere else only 10. :)

  25. really needing another drilled 90gal :( cant seem to find one anywhere that isnt insane priced...
