What does "Non-tempered glass bottoms" mean? I mean, I understand that the bottoms aren't made of tempered glass, but what are they made of instead and why is that good?

non-tempered (plate glass?) can be drilled

tempered glass
(I don't know but I've been told)
is stronger than plate at a thinner thickness

so for example
1/4" tempered is equal in strength to (possibly) 1/2" plate

AGA and Perfecto use alot of tempered because it saves money

Tempered has 2 disadvantages:
it cannot be drilled
and
when it breaks it shatters rather than cracks

so I prefer a plate tank (hard to find)
even tho they are crazy heavy

I am not a glass expert
this is just stuff I've heard

the other nice thing about
the new Oceanic tank
is the starfire front glass
which is clear not green
