Default Can I drill this tank?

I have this 18gal bow front tank, that I would like to plumb into my reef tank. Can it be drilled? I don't know if it's tempered glass or not. It only has one marking on the tank. Looking for advice. Thanks Doug.

More than likely 100% tempered, the only side that may not be tempered is the back but you'll have to check to be sure. Do a quick search and you'll find the technique for testing.
