So, I picked up a used 60 Gallon Cube over the weekend. I’ve been keeping freshwater fish my whole life, but this will be my first shot at salt water.
First order of business though, I HATE the giant overflow box taking up all the room in the tank. I’m very seriously considering cutting it out, plugging the holes in the bottom and replacing it with something like a Fiji Cube low profile overflow.
Thoughts?
My biggest concern is cracking the tank glass while trying to extract the overflow box. Also, I’ve never drilled glass before so I’m a bit apprehensive about that part, but it seems straight forward enough. I’m about 98% sure the back panel is not tempered (I’ve check with polarized glasses and an LCD screen).
