So I was thinking of drilling my tank with a dremel via the directions somewhere on this forum.
Not really scared of breaking the tank... more curious to see where I should make the holes: back or bottom of the tank? I called the tank manufacturer and it isn't tempered.
Is this layout good for the back of the tank? Bigger holes are drainage, smaller are return lines (4 bulkheads in all).
I'm assuming in this setup, if power were to go out, the water would drain to the top level of the drainage holes so I would have to make sure my sump could hold the extra water. But other than that... how is this looking?
(If I could avoid using those huge internal overflows that are on most "reef ready" tanks, I would like it better... just because they take up so much room. Will a bare hole with screening work?)
