Drill or HOB ideas 67 gallon osaka

[HaZRaTTy]

Never EVER EVER will I do HOB again. Regardless if its Fresh/Salt water. What's the point.. and why bother with stupid HOB garbage.

Drill it, If your drilling the back I would go for an external overflow otherwise why not just drill the bottom makes no sense.

If you drill the bottom go with a Herbie, by far the most fail proof silent overflow I have ever ran. (I've ran them all except bean animal which doesn't even make sense to me to begin with)

If you're drilling 2 holes and drilling the bottom for internal overflow I would take the extra 3''-4'' and drill 3 for a return. It beats having to run the return over the back. If you're going to run the return over the back anyways.. WHY Not just go with an external overflow?

OKAY! Drum roll PLEASE!

I've come to a decision.. With much mumbling and growling at my tape measure I came to the conclusion that my reef ready concept tank I was bitching about is only 5 INCHES longer and 4 INCHES taller. It's the damn canopy which is making it 10 inches taller.

It is currently full of my husbands rainbow fish.

Upsides!
Drilled
Sumped
Plumbed
T5'd

I don't have to build a new stand.
I don't need to put up with an 8 gallon sump or a glass shop.

My husband is dancing like an idiot over the fact that he some how got the tank he'd been wanting.
Bonus wife points.


Downsides
I have to buy 2 LED fixtures (Bfd when I am no longer talking drilling holes through my walls and having to have custom sumps/stands built)
noisy durso plumbing
It's full of rainbow fish.
