is it reasonable to ask the ppl that are drilling my tank to gurentee(sp) me that if they do brake my tank they will replace/give me the money to get a new one?

[mastaJ]

I would say yes thats reasonable...

mastaj,
if they are in the business of cutting or drilling glass and know that your tank is not tempered where it will be drilled, then yes it is reasonable to ask. But if the tank is tempered and you know it, and they have told you that it may shatter, and you still go ahead with it, then nope, its on you. Hopefully all goes well.

Thanx for the clarification...I've never had a tank drilled so I wouldn't know anyway...

fwiw 2 lfs's told me no guarantees on my 110,so i called a glass shop and they said since it is already assembled into a tank there are no guarantees(if you bring the glass before the tank is built they said they wouldguarantee it)i gave up and bought a aga twin-flo

maybe more reasonable to ask them how many tanks they have drilled, and how many or those they broke?

[scubadude]

Sure its reasonable....but for anyone who is experienced at drilling tanks they will more than likely tell you to take a hike if you want a guarantee.....I mean think about it....they are charging you 25-45bux to drill a $200 plus tank...... About the only way I would think that they would guarantee is if they knew for a fact that the glass was not tempered. I agree to the above post....ask how many they have drilled and how many they have broke those special bits only last so many drills too.....ask them how many drills the bit has on it (a good glass shop will know)....If i remember right after 200 drills (dont quote me on this :P ) they start getting dull

Now I'm thinking of just going back to getting an overflow box.
