Hi guys, I've been around a while but just now getting to a place I can take the plunge into saltwater. So I bought a used 112 gallon acrylic tank. It's already drilled in the bottom center for pipes for a sump. Im trying to figure out how I would run the overflow from there to the sump. I have searched high and low and can find nothing on this specifically. Most things I find are how to drill the tank. Its already drilled. Two holes very center bottom. The tank itself is 72 L x 18 D x 20 H. Boyfriend says forget it and just run a good quality canister and probably a skimmer and be done with it. He says less costly than setting up a sump. Im looking at the Fluval either fx4 or fx6 but they are pretty costly also. Anyone have any ideas what's best? I know of course everyone says sump is best and I really want to try it, but I am not sure how to go about setting it up and running this overflow down plus the return. Will I need to drill more holes? If so that likely won't happen. Small town and I cannot find anybody to do that. I'm in no rush, were finishing out the stand and the acrylic has to be buffed because it's scratched. Thanks for looking appreciate any help.
