I have a 125 african cichlid tank. Currently, I'm running an FX5 and two Aquaclear 110s, and I've gotten sick of dealing with the FX5. I have a few extra tanks lying around, and am thinking about putting a sump on the 125, for better filtration and (hopefully) more flow. The tank is currently running and also up against the wall. Does this mean that drilling it is out of the question? Should I get a HOB overflow? Pros/cons of sumps and HOB overflows?
Sump for 125. HOB overflow or Drilling?

I looked in to a hob overflow but ended up going with a tank that was drilled on the bottom. I have a 135 with a 40 breeder sump. It has a Mag 9.5 for a return. The sump/tank combo works great. There are pics in my profile albums. I have never drilled a tank before but I would imagine it isn't too hard. Just make sure your glass pane is not tempered where you plan to drill at.
