So just purchased a Red Sea Reefer 250 and was planning on repurposing the ATO tank to for a fuge or algae scrubber, but the 2.1 gallon ATO glass is real thin. I didn't measure exactly yet, but it's definitely thinner than a standard 10G glass aquarium.
Is my instinct correct in thinking, trying to drill this thing is not a smart move? I'm thinking one of three things will happen
1) I'll break the glass during drilling
2) I'll manage to get bulkhead installed with pvc pipes, then I'll find a way to knock the pipes around a little and break the glass that way
3) I'll actually manage to get it running, but it'll eventually break on it's own under the weight and flow of water
Thanks,
Randy
