I am in the process of upgrading my 55g to a 90g AGA non drilled tank. I am deperately hoping the bottom glass is not tempered so I can drill a corner overflow into the unit.
Assuming it is tempered and unable to be drilled, I'm assuming my only option is to run an external overflow? I am reading about closed loop systems but this doesn't seem to solve the problem of getting water to a sump/fuge.
My current system consists of an external overflow going to a 10g sump/fuge. I really want to get rid of the external overflow because it takes up a lot of space, the syphon is always being broken and algae grows inside it like no other. I will upgrading the sump/fuge as well to as large a unit as I can fit in the cabinet.
I keep mostly LPS w/a few kenya tree's, zoos, and shrooms. I would like to begin keeping clams as some point when I upgrade my lighting and my current plan is to put about a 750-800 gph return pump in the sump and use 2 modded MJ1200's (about 2000 gph each) for added circulation. I will have to upgrade my skimmer as well, and hopefully this will fit into the sump being fed directly from whatever overflow I use.
So basically if I can't drill, what is the next best method?
