Basement sump

I would check with Randy at ARC. I think they cut holes.

Baffles are nice if you have problems with microbubbles.

Drilling a sump is pretty easy, there are lots of good instructional videos online.

I just bought a 40BR for my sump from Petco. Great timing as the truck just pulled in with one and it was the only one they had. Next question is since I have a refugium I am going to use. Do I need to put baffles in my sump. My plan was just to put most the mechanical stuff there, heaters, dosers, ato, etc. and some live rock, no lighting. Also, where is a good place in Buffalo to get a hole cut into the breeder? How expensive will it be? and how big should I make it?

You can get a diamond hole saw and guide from glass-holes. It's really easy to drill yourself. I would do 1.5".

Sounds and looks easy enough. how close to the bottom of the tank should I put the hole?
