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?

Drill it you chicken lol.

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

I'll call a few glass shops.
I'm not worried about cracking the back panel. I am worried about cracking the bottom. How big should the holes be and how many?

For a Herbie setup you will need two drains. One main with the gate valve on it and one for the emergency standpipe. As for your return, you could have another hole or go over the top edge on the back.
