Drill the bottom of the tank? & yes it’s very weird, the local fish store I bought it from is no help, and no video online really gives me a good enough idea of what to do with it. I really want to try a sump out but I’m close to going with two fx6’s since this 180g will be an African cichlids tank, and I have no clue on what what to do with the sump.You can but it’s not nearly as efficient at surface skim.. just put strainers on the bulkheads in the tank and use them as your drains.. being it’s acrylic I would drill the bottom and get a an overflow made and put in.. pretty simple to do.. need to patch the hole in the back of the tank and the sump I’m not sure what they used them for… weird set up with random holes.
I have no clue. I didn’t think it would be this confusing when I bought it online.I can’t wrap my head around how that sump was set up! Very strange configuration unless it had frag racks or something but even still…
I mean it will work for extra water volume and putting your equipment in thats not a problem at all… you need to patch the hole on the side of it thou..I have no clue. I didn’t think it would be this confusing when I bought it online.
So this won’t be a saltwater set up? That changes things a little… strainers would be fine on the drains and just run your return over the top of the tank. Or possibly use that existing hole in the back of the tank if you can find a bull head to fit it.Drill the bottom of the tank? & yes it’s very weird, the local fish store I bought it from is no help, and no video online really gives me a good enough idea of what to do with it.
