I personally would get the tank drilled, but when you drill it you also have to risk cracking it.

I will have the guy downstairs do it for me, he also has is own plastic & arcylic shop. That is why I need the exact dimensions of the sump/fuge design. He could build it for me in a day he said.

Cool. Do you need the exact dimensions of mine? If so they are above.

Moto cross is great! bet you have some sick trails and tracks in Mississippi!! Any way good work on the tank!! Also what is that stuff you are putting in place of live sand?

Yea I have been planning it out for a long time. Yes we have 4 dirt bikes: YZ125 XR400 XR100 XR80. I am going to put starboard on the bottom of the tank instead of sand. It is basically like the thick white cutting board.

Yeah, Costa I'm going to copy your design. It incorporates everything I want-as well as the return, only thing is I want 2. I need a bigger pump right? Do you have any ideas on the HO overflow?

Today I also picked up 3 6ft acrylic rods for my rock work. I think I am going to lay out my tank dimensions with tape of the driveway and try to get a feel of how I want the rock work to look like. So when the tank is ready for LR I will have a better idea of what I want. Here is a picture of all 3 the rods.
