Ok, so tank was drained and drilled last night. Everything went as well as I could have expected. I am going to plumb it tonight. Pics to come soon.

algae is growing on it. Not good. What kind of flow do you have pointing at it. I would try to remove the algae or frag the good part of what's left.
