i think perfecto tanks are all tempered. That makes it pretty hard to drill (if not impossible) im not sure if just the bottom pannels are tempered or all the pannels.

You can contact Perfecto by email, and ask them if drilling is an option on the particular tanks you have.

Just wanted you to make sure it wasnt tempered before attempting to drill it and then see a post with you saying you found out the hard way. Just looking out!

It has come back to bite me in the butt a few times, but you were right the first time. For the record, I picked DgenR8 long before I was invited to join the staff here, and now it's way too late to change it.

Sorry I didn't know I could not post a link - so I deleted it - look up the dremel tank drilling technique

I have spoken to many friends who have drilled hundreds of tanks this way and I plan on trying it myself - hope this helps

The only thing is that the thinner the glass the more of a pain in the *** .
