Question about tanks

[ricwilli]

How safe is a tank with a NON-Tempered bottom glass? All the tanks that I've had always had tempered glass.

Probably for a good reason

Depends upon the amount of volume/gallons in the tank. Small tanks don't need tempered glass. The taller the tank the more weight will be concentrated on the small footprint bottom glass and require tempering.

Definitely not reflective of this scenario. Your 55 blowout had nothing to do with a tempered bottom glass.
