Hey all,
I've kept a 20-gallon nano reef for the past year or so, and now I'm a homeowner, I have room for a larger reef in my living room. I took advantage of the Petco dollar per gallon sale and bought a 55-gallon tank, and a 20-gallon for the sump/refugium.
From here I'm not sure what to do. I know that drilling is better than overflow boxes - but I've never used a dremel and I'm scared of making a mistake. It seems like making a sump is a bit more complicated than just siliconing panels of plexi into the tank as well. And I don't have any of the tools for any of this - I can cut plexi, but I don't have anything to heat it or bend it - I'm not very mechanically inclined.
Is there someone in the area who will drill the tank and sump for me and assemble the sump? I figure once that's done even I, with no plumbing experience at all, can figure out how to install flexline piping.
Thanks in advance.
