what I have is a 75g bow front with one hole drilled in the center of the back. It also has a stand and canopy. The reason I didn’t use the tank is both the bottom and top frames are crack and I tried finding new frames and had no luck. I just hate seeing the tank just sitting there. If you can fix it or want to use it for something that doesn’t need the tank full it’s all yours. I can post pics after work today.Ok let’s see what happens and if no one wants it by the end of the week it’s yours and the tank goes into my tank graveyard behind the garage
So considering,I just went threw this with the same exact tank you should concider the following. if the hole is dead center in,the back of the tank structurly this is were the most pressure is placed on the glass as far as bowing out, the weakened support brackets (the plastic rim that encompasses the tank) can cause issue. If you read my tales of the tank forum I went into this in great depth. Now I am not saying this will happen to you but I would take the following precautions 1 any plumbing applied to those pre drilled holes should be level and positioned in away that they do not put pressure or flex on,that hole. To do this I would place a block between the pipe and the tank so that when hanging the pipe lays at a perfect 90 degree angle not stressing the glass concider padding with foam so no viberations transfer threw. 2 concider reinforcing the broken section of rim fiberglass plastic cement to reattach new rim to that area. Also 3 read my thread about what happened to my tank, I explain the problem better. And 4 make sure the tank is perfectly level water weight is 8 lbs per gallon on top of the stand that then transfers to the floor, if the floor is weak it may look level now but could say latter
