drilling bottom of tank

I just read on the Marineland site in their question answer posts that their corner overflow tanks can all be drilled because they use annealed glass instead of tempered.
I wish I had known that a long time ago. I sure would have done things differently.

Would have been nice for you to have known that .....however I would rather be disappointed with unable to drill the bottom of a tank than drill it and shatter and be furious !

Yep. My feelings exactly.

So what did you end up doing ? For an overflow ?

I was questioning my used tank I bought and figured it would have a tempered bottom which it does but then found the bean animal set up and excited now !
