    Tank to shallow maybe?

    I've been looking for a tank and think i found one. it's 8Ft long 160 gal 96x24x16. my concern is the height. I would be transferring my aggressive tank to this one. I'm worried there wouldn't be enough height for the lionfish's. water doesn't go to the top. so I'm at 15 inches. and say an inch...

    Drilling an acrylic tank?

    ok thanks for the info. i like that little box idea for the overflow small discrete. but i wonder how it is on noise? What i think my plan is going to be is one 1" hole in each corner. then one 1" hole in the middle towards the top of the tank for the return.

    Drilling an acrylic tank?

    i think he meant having a drilled overflow is safer than a over the edge style

    Drilling an acrylic tank?

    Im looking to get a bigger tank and all i can find are acrylic's with no built in overflows. so ive found some overflow boxes i could glue in but im not sure how good of idea it is to drill the bottom of an acrylic tank? is pretty simple? is it just as safe with the hole than without?
