Looking for sump and plumbing

[RFD]

Hi all,

i am looking for so specs, pics, etc to set up a 75 gal- may go for 90 but already have the 75. i was thinking about using the 55 for a sump/ ref and to hold the skimmer. I also want to drill the 75- so I am looking for any information

thanks

i wouldn't drill a hole on the bottom of a tank period. the bottom of your tank holds a tremendous amount of weight. tanks which are drilled on the bottom are done so in the factory... and then tempered afterwards. you could drill the bottom.... but it's a huge risk. just my opinion.

DRILL AWAY!!

drill hole in top and make overflow up there, i like the coast to coast overflow style myself
