Tank brand id please.

Geissijs · 06/25/2016, 08:22 PM

I just bought a 110g used tank. The sticker has an anchor on it with a mfr date 2013. Is this a perfecto, deep blue pro, or AGA. Wondering for drilling purposes. The deep blue is tempered f,b, and bottom. And the perfecto's supposedly are not tempered anywhere. I believe the AGA's are tempered in some panels. I just don't want this thing to pop if I start drilling it. Any suggestions?

If there's an anchor it's a marineland and I'm about 99% sure the bottom is tempered

I think I'm going to avoid the bottom at all cost. I hate to do that, I really wanted this to sit on the wall without any protrusions on any side.

You could drill the side and make a custom cabinet to hide the plumbing just an idea lowes or homedepot also sell premade cabinets that you could modify

This will be in the room that I just added to the house. All hardwood with reinforced floor joists. It's almost as if I knew there would be a big fish tank there one day?!

Just to close this thread out and for anybody looking for the same answer.

I drilled 2x 1" holes in the bottom of this tank. It was perfecto and the glass was green.
