So, I am going to pick up a 36" x 18" x 18" acrylic tank to replace my current 58g Oceanic. The reason, I want to put in a closed loop system.
Yes, I could drill my 58g Oceanic...but what a pain. So for the price of this tank, I don't see how I can pass it up.
So onto my question.
I will need to drill it for both the overflow and the closed loop system which is pretty good in my opinion because I can do it the way I want.
The main drain can be any size and since my return will be over the back feeding a SeaSwirl, it doesn't have to be huge.
So, what would you do? What size pump would you have as the closed loop pump? How many holes would you drill and where would you drill them? How big would the holes be? This will be a full SPS tank, bare bottom of course.
Let me know!
Thanks!
Mike
