![]() I'm leaning that way, I liked my old herbie overflow system not to mention ease of water changes and ATO systems. It will also look better and be cheaper (at least on my sanity) in the long haul.
Hob is easy but it isn't pretty and water changes are a PAIN! Realistically it depends if I can get it drilled for a fair price without messing it up I've never set up a sump myself ( I buy my setups pre owned most of the time) so I need someone who knows what they're doing. I saved enough on my glass cost that I can budget a bit more to get the tank working the way I want.

![]() Sides and bottom are NOT TEMPERED.
I checked! I'm opting for a back drill over a bottom drill if I go that route.

![]() I've run HOB for skimmers, etc. and I would DEFINITELY recommend drilling vs. running HOB equipment. This weekend I was able to move almost all my equipment to my sump and I'm amazed at how much cleaner and roomy the tank looks. If I had the choice again I'd go totally drilled vs. HOB overflow etc.

![]() How many holes for a herbie setup?
Where exactly? How big should a sump be?

![]() hahahaha!
you jerkface. You're just as chicken as me! I told you I'd let canreef decide it's fate. Worst case I spend 100.00 and get another back pane cut. I'm thinking I'll call aquagiant and ask them what they can do. Slight issue is AG doesn't communicate all that well.

![]() Tell ya what. If they are going to charge you a bunch of cash to drill it I will do it for ya. If its going to be pricey and they wont gaurantee the glass I will do it then as well.
And for the record I drilled my 180 4 times so im not THAT chicken lol |
