If it doesn't work, I would do all three as overflows and run your return up the back, as previously suggested. This is what I have and it works pretty well.

My guess on this is 5x, maybe 6x tank volume turnover per hour.

Any more than that is fine, but the more tank/sump turnover you give yourself the more chance you introduce microbubbles (because the sump can become a whitewater rafting kind of river, even with baffles and dams and etc. to reduce microbubbles), and of course, the bigger your overflow drain capacity needs to be.

You can always increase current in the main display independently of the sump pump (i.e. powerheads, wavemakers, closed loops, surge devices, streams, etc. etc., limited only by imagination :cool: )

That was my plan, I just want to make sure the skimmer gets what it needs... :razz:

Just from my experience and what I see on a regular basis.

Its empty and you have a chance to drill it now, spend the $20 for a glass shop to drill it.

It is not that easy, the sucker weighs a ton 72x18x24... 3/8"

How much for the required drill bits?

Some glass companies will come to your house. Out here, I know big als will come to your place. It does cost more, $100 and $20 per extra hole needed.

But at least then you have a professional (sorta) doin it. :)
