Nano tank without power heads ?

[twintrades]

Ive been tossing the idea around about doing a nano SPS only tank. I have the lids from a 125 sitting around. Im thinking of getting a Section of glass cut for the bottom of the tank and using the sides to make a short "cube" It would be 19x19x9.

Is there a way to use a closed loop system on a tank this size ? I was thinking about possibly 4 holes. 2 up top and 2 on the bottom. I'd like to keep it clean looking if possible.... Any ideas ?

It will have a internal overflow. Going to a 5 gallon bucket sump. Or a patched cube sump i have.

Sounds interesting.

If the glass from your lids is thin, it will more than likely crack when you try to drill.
