So i will be getting a used 120 tonight and will be resealing and drilling.i will post pics as they come. First question plan on building another sump as i did for my 75 but not sure whether to use a 55 or 40? Any suggestions?

if it fits in your stand a 40 gallon breeder is easier to work with getting in and out.

Ok so i got the tank and its definitely got some work to do

So before sump because i jumped ahead. It actually came with an eshopps hang on overflow but i think im just gonna drill it instead

Forgot to mention 3 weeks ago we added a new reefer to the family!

So found out that the orignal leak is from the bottom so the whole bottom came off currently finishing cleaning off the old silicone to prepare to reattach the bottom before i reseal the whole thing

As mentioned, go with the 40 if you can.

Before you drill make sure you can and it isn't tempered.

Ok quick question sticker on the bottom said no drill tempered and the bottom was a lot thinner than the walls does that mean the walls are still drillable?

So i got the bottom reattached bottom frame back on resealed the whole tank and got the stand in the house! Its getting there

So im going with a 55 gallon sump purely because it will fit the 40 is to wide to fit in my stand
