Youll need a drill. A spray bottle with water and some aquarium silcone for the box to attach to the tank.

Ya I just assumed it was. I didn't know they would drill itI paid a LFS to drill it - $25/ hole. You need to make sure it is non-tempered glass otherwise it will shatter.
I stopped using my skimmer because of low nutrients, I do have a very strong powerhead in there that keeps the top agitated well. I'm leaning towards keeping the canister and switch out the hosing to glass tubes. Or calling my fish store to drill if that tank isn't tempered glassThere are really only four ways to do it, I think. An internal filter (don't recommend), the hang on back filter, canister or plumb to a sump. I have been impressed with the stuff my Reef Octopus skimmer pulls out of the water. And that is after it goes thru a sock with filter padding. Having a sump gets most everything off sitting on the tank.
I had some silicon I tried in the tank to put gsp on the back wall and it would stick to the glass but nothing else like it slipped around too much do you have to clamp it in place whole it dries?

Thats a fluval 406What type of canister is it?
I had a 306 before, I upgraded to an Fluval FX4, it's a beast and works great.Thats a fluval 406
I have the G3 on my main. I like it pretty good. So have you seen any adapters for fluval hoses before?I had a 306 before, I upgraded to an Fluval FX4, it's a beast and works great.
The hoses aren't too bad.
If you're looking to get rid of the hoses hanging over the tank, then an external overflow would work, but at the end of the day you will still see something coming out over the tank.
And do you think if I found a filter adapter would the flow be too strong for those glass tubes?I have the G3 on my main. I like it pretty good. So have you seen any adapters for fluval hoses before?
I will have to look into that. My first was a 65 gal too with that fluval 406My first reef tank was a 65 gallon with a canister filter. I quickly decided that didn't work for me. At that time I would not even consider drilling a tank. I went with a Lifereef overflow. No pumps or aqualifter required, and never loses siphon.
No not at all, I'm sure there's some, but have never looked.I have the G3 on my main. I like it pretty good. So have you seen any adapters for fluval hoses before?
