$31 for new glass.
$46 new tank.
$20 for used (like new, not a scratch) 30x24x12 tank from Salvation Army with light/hood.
****also note the OVERFLOW instead of drilling the tank.
I think I need to paint it black though.
I only had to cut the drywall a little more and still need to go to Home Depot for new molding. (I also need to use a ladder for water changes.)
New home for African grow out.
bottom 20g Long for birchardi and fry.

That looks like a nice setup!
I read the thread title and said "oh no..." to myself. I was right
The easy way to see if it is tempered glass is to drill it. If it explodes like a car window, it was tempered...
Seems kinda silly to temper the sides of a 30g, but the evidence is there!
I hate cleaning up all those thousands of tiny pieces of glass, it's one of my least favorite things about replacing broken car windows.

I feel your pain mate, Im an apprentice glazier and I've cleaned up A few blown up door panels thousands of little bits between sliding door tracks
I dont know if this has been said already but you can use polarized sunglasses to tell if it's toughened/tempered you can see black stres points in the corners
