Drilled Perfecto Tank?

I was wondering if the Perfecto tanks from Big Al's can be drilled without worrying about the pane busting?  I picked up a 40 gallon breeder, but thought it'd be nice to have it drilled.  It says "tempered glass" on the bottom, but I don't know if that applies to all panes, or just the bottom one.

Just the bottom, otherwise it would specify all sides. I wondered the same thing.

I was walking down the street and a man was hammering on a roof top and he called me a Paranoid Little Weirdo. . . in morse code.

I know 1st hand the Aqueon 40g breeder does not have a tempered bottom.  ;)

Yeah, I didn't know where to get tanks other than Big Al's.  I really hate Hagen tanks, and I've never seen any other aquarium suppliers anywhere around here.

I got a 40 gal perfecto tank from Big Al's on boxing day and I'm using it as a sump for my main setup:
