I'll trade you, my empty 120g tank with stand, for the solaris. That solves ALL of your problems, doesn't it?

brooks93 · 05-20-2008, 10:01 PM

LMAO

not really.

maybe I will use it on my refug so I can say that I got something Terry doesn't. LOL j/k

not many can say that

brooks93 · 05-21-2008, 11:33 PM

ok question for those that know more then me. so everyone I have a question.

I was looking at the glass hole over flows today and I was thinking about removing the 2 that are in my tank already and adding 2 of the glass hole ones. So what I am wondering is the back of the tank tempered? I would use the holes currently in the bottom of the tank as my intakes for the close loop and the 2 3/4's as a part of the close loop return.

tbittner · 05-22-2008, 07:18 AM

It's very doubtful that the back is tempered. No guarantee of course, but very doubtful.

BigAl07 · 05-22-2008, 07:42 AM

I'm with Terry there. Makes me nervous

JoJo · 05-22-2008, 07:45 AM

i agree with Terry, its unlikely that the back of the tank is tempered

tbittner · 05-22-2008, 09:54 AM

If you know who the manufacturer is, send them an email and ask. Most manufacturers are really good about responding.

brooks93 · 05-22-2008, 09:57 AM

its an all glass tank

I see that bottom has a sticker on it that says its tempered

Craig Manoukian · 05-22-2008, 09:59 AM

You might just want to confirm with the manufacturer.

brooks93 · 05-22-2008, 10:39 AM

Thanks guys I will try and get a hold of them.

I guess my next question would be do you think it worth doing in the first place?

AQTCJAK · 05-22-2008, 11:03 AM

IME all AGA tanks are only tempered on the bottom. But veryify with the manufacture

brooks93 · 05-22-2008, 07:38 PM

waiting to hear back from them.

is it worth going from about 1200 gph with the stock overflows to 3000 gph with the glass hole over flows

tbittner · 05-22-2008, 09:31 PM

Thats what I did BUT I did it with siphon overflow boxes. LifeReef rocks!

I would have preferred to drill it. The problem with the 450 though was there wasn't anyway I could lay it on it's side, drill it, then stand it back up. I was worried about damaging it, not to mention is weighs almost 1,000 lbs.

I'm having a 2" bulkhead installed inside a shallow overflow box at the top for the 360g predator tank so I won't be using a siphon box on it.
