Hi everyone!

Looking for advice if I can convert an acrylic peninsula tank into a rear overflow tank. Due to the house setup and size of the tank, a peninsula tank does not fit in a true peninsula setup. I would hate to lose a viewing angle. Has anyone successfully cut a tank of 8ft x 3ft x 2ft (375)?

What would you need to cut? Wouldn't you just need to drill some holes for bulkheads?

Mine had overflow and overflow box on the end . The stand was built to hide it all:

The overflow on the right side and the tank is going in the center of the living room. Ideally, I would like to see the fish on that side.

I realized the error in my post after it was too late.
