So, here it goes.... Im thinking seriously about picking up a 300g acrylic tank and system from an individual. I need more room for growing livestock, the price is good, and it isnt too far away from me.
Only problem is, I believe it is plumbed with those ghost style overflow boxes on the top corners of the back wall. That means there is plumbing behind the tank, which moves it out from the wall where I want to place the tank. I do not really like that idea. I would rather place it as close to the wall as possible, and definitely do not want to see plumbing behind my tank as I will be looking directly at the side of the tank every time I walk into my front door!
Is it possible to remove and plug the holes in the back wall of the tank? Reliably so there are no leaks! They are located near the top of the tank with no real water pressure, so I think that helps?
Also, my system now has the dual back internal overflows that go all the way from water level to the bottom of the tank and are drilled through the bottom glass. Is there a place to purchase those style overflow pieces? All I can find is the ghost style boxes and the like that you drill through the back wall. No one seems to carry the old school overflows anymore...
Thanks for any help, advice, tips, general rambling etc.......
