HOB overflows

[cowpilot]

Well Im working out the details on how I want to set up my tank. I would like to have a sump with a refugium but my tank is not drilled. How well do HOB overflows work. Also my tank is 100g what would be a good size for the sump. Thanks

I have a 125 with a 40 gallon long tank under it. Dont know if that will work for you but a 29 will for sure. The tank I have now is drilled but the tank before had a HOB overflow and I didn`t have any problem. Good Luck By the way welcome to AA

I currently run two tanks with HOB overflow systems and have no issues.

Thank you

Thanks for the responses. I really wanted to get a reef ready tank of comparible size but the deal was so good on this one I just couldent pass it up. Figure that will allow me to spend a little more on lighting

A 29g will give you almost 30% of your main. That is a decent number, but if you can do the 40g.

What are the dimensions of a 100 gallon tank?

 

[cowpilot]

The tanks dimensions are 60", 18" , 20 Tall.

I would say a 40 L should fit under that.
