drilling short sides

[ratimpulse]

I have a standard 55 gallon aga tank. I want to drill one hole in the middle on one side, and one hole near the top on the other side. On the short side i believe its 13" deep. Will this be safe?

Probably. Unless your hole is friggn' huge to the point it would severely weaken the glass, and you drill carefully, you ought not have any problems. The glass isn't tempered, or at least wasn't on my 55AGA.

Yea the only tempered part is the bottom pane of glass. The holes are only going to be 3/4" thick so it should be fine.
