Just scored a 120gal. Innovative marine aquarium with black wood stand (boy is that thing awkward). It's called a shallow reef, so it's the same footprint as their 200gal, but it's only 18" tall.
The built in filtration section looks to be barely functional, and appears to be Plexiglas/acrylic and rather flimsy. it didn't come with any pumps or hardware (what can you expect for $200.00).
So, I'm looking for opinions on whether I should leave the aquarium as is, and just buy new pumps and such, or strip the filter out, drill for and Exotic Marine wier, and get their 55 gal. sump kit and turn my 55 into a awesome sump. Can Innovative Marine glass even be drilled?
I have a few more plans for this, once I get it off the truck and set up, I'll post some pics.
Lemme know what ideas pop into your head for this lucky barn find.
