Yes it’s a 225 gallon peninsula but the overflow only has one drain , is that correct or did the manufacture make a mistake?

I would think most would be drilled for atleast a modified BA setup with 3 holes, one is unusual but if it was custom and wasn't specified in the build process by the buyer the builder could have just drilled it for a Durso setup (usually extra holes being drilled relates to extra cost, which is why the buyers typically need to request for certain holes being drilled, this includes drain and return setups)

Looks like a stunning tank though! Hopefully we can see a build thread on it soon if you don't have one already :)

The advantage of having a 3 hole bean animal with a coast to coast is worth your effort to drill 2 more holes.
I have a C to C and the bean is made for it.
