Hey y’all, I got a 120 gallon 4x2x2 rimmed reef ready aqueon tank that I need advice about. Pretty much, the tank comes with 2 overflow boxes pre drilled for a durso overflow, but I want to use a herbie style for the increased flow and noise reduction. My initial plan was just to send the return behind the tank and over the rim, but thinking about it, that might not be the best idea. I am putting eels in this tank, so I need the lid to fit tightly, which will be very difficult if I do this . So my idea was just to drill the back of the tank and put some bulkheads in it and send the return through there. However, I have never drilled a tank before and I really don’t wanna break it, it will also void the warranty I’m sure. I’m also struggling to find the width of the glass, I can’t find a number on the internet for this tank and I’m not sure how to measure it with the rim.
What would you guys do? Should I risk drilling it? Should I just figure out a lid solution later and send the returns over the lip of the tank?
Advice would be very much appreciated!
Cheers
