Hi guys, how to know if is tempered glass? I've cheked against the sun and i see some line forming along the glass. Bord are very smooth. Wathing thru the lenght of the glass from the side color is greenish. Defintely tempered?

Try looking at the glass with uv-protector sunglasses. Often you'll see a pattern on the glass, just like you do when you're driving and see it on the glass. If you're not sure, I wouldn't drill

@fr3n0z I vaguely recall something about looking at the glass through polarized lenses. If you see dark areas then it’s polarized.

Yes that's right. It's polarized lenses you need to use

Looking up the tank manufacturer usually has all the details listed.

I used polarised glass and no marks seen, on some known tempered glass (shower door) i could definetly see that. I have called the manufacturer and they told me is tempered but it sounded more like "i dont want you to modify it, so i tell you is tempered because otherwise if you brake it you may complain with us".

And so...isn't tempered. Just finished.

Thanks guys, this forum is always on top.

Easiest fool proof way, take your cell phone and turn on a white screen, use polarized sunglasses and look at the phone through the glass. Youll see the rainbow and streaks if it is tempered.
