Are the cheap Perfecto 5/5.5 gal tanks made of glass or plastic? I am thinking about using a couple in a sump project and need to be able to drill it myself.

Anybody have one of these? Is there another brand that is made of acrylic?

Thanks!

I have had success drilling the All-Glass 5 1/5 tanks, but you have to be very careful. I can get them for about $13 at the LFS.

Thanks, I wasn't aware that its possible to drill glass unles having it done at a glass shop. That would be great. I may be able to work a 10 gallon tank under my stand (don't buy narrow tanks!) with alittle modification to the doors. Wish I new my stand was so narrow inside before I bought it! Oh well...2 years later and I am finally doing my sump nicely!
