im working on cleaning up my 60gal AGA to turn i SW im probabuly going to be going with seahorses just a couple concerns

my tank has a small chip in it from a unknown cause

i dont think it will jeperdise of its ability to hold water what do u think?

also this sticker is on the bottom of the tank dose it mean i can not drill the bottom or the sides aswell

My tank has the same sticker on it even though it came reef ready and pre-drilled. But that sticker is probrobly on there for a reason, although I am no expert on the subject.

My guess is that only the bottom is tempered, you should be ok with drilling the sides. Vanmo92, I think glass can be tempered after it has already been drilled, which is why yours had that sticker as well.

[17]shawn[17], what are the dimensions of the tank?

Is it just me or can you see the underside of that sticker and it say something about the bottom?

Your bottom is undrillable, though I can't comment on the sides. My new AGA 90g has a sticker which says not to drill the aquarium at all
