OK so I bought a brand new 55 gallon tank and I am anxious to get started on cycling it... but it has one small ( or big) problem.. the drain box is in the left corner.. I would prefer to have it in the middle. I am wondering if it is possible.. or wise.. to move it. it runs the full height of the tank and so there are 2 holes cut in the glass at the bottom of the tank for the drain plumbing and return plumbing.. (all runs down into the stand where the sump is hidden ).. now figuring I would cut the same size holes in the center of the tank I would automatically have 2 round pieces of glass I could put in the existing holes.. if I cement the crap out of those then I put 2 pieces of square glass over and under where the holes were and cement the crap out of those all around and everywhere leaks might be possible then I rebuild the box in the center of the tank.
Is this a wise thing to do .. has anyone done this?.. or should I just live with the tank where the box is now? Any advice or experience anyone can offer with similar situations would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to make a huge mistake by doing this only to find out I never should have done it.
Thank you.
