Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and to get me thinking critically about it.

In the event it didn't work out as an aquarium, it would be back to "Plan A" with it: to turn it into a terrarium for tropical plants. I've got three plant terrariums in the house, and I'm looking to do a larger one (not necessarily this big, though).

Terrariums are a bit more forgiving then aquariums in a lot of ways. Even an open terrarium can really increase the variety of plants that we can have in our dry homes. All of my plant terrariums are aquariums that were badly damaged and no longer held water. It is okay if I get sloppy with the silicone on those, as the silicone isn't as noticeable when the aquarium is 1/4 full of soil.

Well, it was a little more complicated then that. Trust me, the gory details (or what I said to hubby) are not required.

First others are correct tempered glass can not be modified in anyway no matter where you take it. However how do you know it's tempered?

Umm . . . Hubby said so. Sorry. Best answer I can give. I will be questioning him further about this when I get home this evening.

You've given me some great ideas. Thanks!
