  I'd like to do an internal overflow, but I don't know if the tank is tempered (it's a standard 55). How can you tell? I've seen the information using a TV/computer display and a polarizing lens, but my tank isn't placed such that this would be practical. Is there another way to tell? Thanks.

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Jim,
  Great question! The easiest way to tell is just to call the manufacturer as nobody will know better then them! :-) In most cases the sides of the tank are not tempered but it never hurts calling just to double check.

  Hi, I'm setting up my breeding rack and wants to drill like 30 10g tanks for the bulk head. My friend gave me 25 pcs of 1/2 bulk head, can I buy one drill bit for 30 tanks? or do I have to buy multiple drill bit. Thanks

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Sam,
  How many holes you get out of a drill bit depends on a lot of factors such as cooling, thickness of glass, pressure used, etc, but on the average I would pick up a drill bit for every 4-5 holes you need to drill.

  Can the diamond coated drill Bits also drill though acrylic.

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Kyle,
  Good question! The diamond bits are for glass. For acrylic you would just want hole saw bits like this kit:
