Thanks.

Im not sure, but Im pretty sure the bottom glass pane on most 72G+ bowfronts(oceanic/allglass) are tempered...
Not sure if you were thinking drilling the bottom? or back pane?
Cheers!

Yes they are tempered.
You can buy the bowfronts already pre-drilled to your specs from the factory. But of course special order means special price.

You might have to do it on the side of the tank further down.

Just curious but was the bottom tempered? Did he have to do it on the side?

Yes the bottom is tempered, we drilled the hole on the back side of the tank.
