Greetings, all

Has anyone finally, definitively confirmed that a biocube is drillable, and if so, is it the bottom, or the back?

Thanks for responses yet to come!

Isn't the back plastic?

Negative...the EXTERNAL back wall is painted, or at least coated glass...the INTERNAL back wall (the back wall viewable from within the tank) is plastic.

I guess I'm thinking of another type of tank....

Try it and let us know. Be sure to video the procedure. :)

THis may not be the most effective way to do this, but from what I understand it works. Assuming the tank is empty, take it outside and look at it through a pair of polarized sunglasses. If it appears to have sort of "grid" patterns in the glass then it's tempered and shouldn't be drilled. If you don't see a "grid" then it's probably okay to drill.
