I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this?
I know tempered glass can't be cut, and I've read about potential issues with tempered glass shattering as apposed to sheet glass cracking. But I've not been able to find any real information about success or (catastrophic) failures...

You could try it. But I wouldn't recommend it as tempered has very little flex rating before said shattering.

We've a few tanks from small to medium sized and a patient who owns a glass factory offered to temper the glass for free in building the biggest of our tanks.  Asking about it was recommended from the LFS for tanks not to temper the glass.  

 

Watching some videos I think i understand, a crack would allow you some time to sort the problem out, tempered glass would be a sensational fail if it did fail.

 

 

I think what you need is chemical strengthening
