Im new to the hobby and I am looking at purchasing a 90 Gal reef ready aquarium. They're tempered glass and come pre drilled with a 1" over flow and a 3/4" return. In my research I have seen set ups with two overflows, the second as a precaution to the first one. Is this reef ready aquarium a good tank to start out with? I just dont want the risk of a lot of water on my floor down the road.
Thanks

It definitely increases the risk of overflowing the tank. If you don’t want that risk you’ll need to find a tank with an emergency drain and main drain (3 drilled holes)
