You've got me a bit worried now regarding my slots. I drilled 20 slots 8mm wide (.314") by 3/4" or 1" tall on the back panel with 3/4" space between each slot. Also, I did not drill any slots in the center and left about 10" of sloid glass so that the center brace would not be useless. All of the holes I drilled have their top about 1"-1.5" from the top of the glass - pretty much at the bottom of the frame of the tank.
I'm hoping that I will not have issues since I have the glass intact by the center brace and I have a bit of spacing between the slots. Any thoughts on this as far as good idea/bad idea? Do you have any links or anything to those who did have tank failure from drilling the slots? Do you know if it failed right away or if it held water for a while and then failed?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm a little paranoid about setting up the tank in my office now.
