hello reef addicts and DIYErs im sure this subject has been already done . I just got a nice deal not a water box mini 25 gallon . here are the specs below . waterbox is having a half deal .I couldn't pass this up. im planning on this tank being a low light tank for mushrooms and lower light corals . I currently have a. waterbox marine 60.2 its a 2x2 cube with a. sump. and I want to connect the Miini25 .I prefer not to drill this . I believe they make overflows kits to connect tanks . next item is to obtain a better return pump and a additional manifold . Let me know guys . I also need to obtain a nice white stand as nice as the waterbox is going to be tough. thanks !

this is it a glass box .

thanks for the help on this I kinda did some searching on my own and I guess I can answer my own question now in case anyone needs any help with this .

1st option cheaper would be a. over flow hand on the box ( I know people dont like this setup) and a return off a manifold from ur main tank . then a home made stand or a stand purchase from a store.

2nd option would be to drill the tank and install a over flow . the glass can be drilled on the clear minis. Im thinking maybe I should take my tank to a glass shop to drill it. of course I can do it myself . from there plump the tank to ur sump . and a return line I would do pVC I have colored pVC pipe. I would need advice on plumping the return etc . the stand can be purchased from water box I think its 400 bucks ..

any advice would be great , I do like the water box stands its a bit pricey .
