Good news for all you Breeder owners . . .

[ReefJunkie]

Per Aqueon, the 40 gal Breeder does not have a tempered glass bottom therefore making it drillable to install your own overflow. Too bad I didn't find this out until AFTER I had already drilled the back of mine.

I drilled the bottom of mine a year or so ago. No problems what so ever.

FWIW their pdf file outlines which tanks have tempered bottoms and which do not.

arent all 40 breeders non tempered ?

 

[ReefJunkie]

The 40 breeders are non-tempered but the 40 longs are tempered. The fact that the 40 breeders are not temered is kinda unusual because All-Glass (0r Aqueon as they are known by now) tempered everything above 37 gal except for the 40 breeder. Just a FYI.

You still have to be careful because they will slip in tempered every now and again. The ones at petsmart are supposed to be non tempered but I recently exploded a 40B with a tempered bottom.

Maybe that's why it's labeled a 'B' for "Better Not!"
