No, I called around to a few places but didn't find anyone to drill it.
I went ahead and got an Amiracle overflow....I was going to get a Lifereef, but I talked to the guy who makes them and he won't be making another batch of them for a month or so and I need it before then. He told me to avoid the CPR's like the plague and to get the Amiracle, so I did. I will be making my own sump....I bought a Euroreef CS8-2 and a Mag 9 return pump. For powerheads I bought 2 of the Tunze 7300/2 with a 7091 controller and a Tunze Y-Adapter to be able to run both of them. I also got the Tunze photocell sensor, so when the lights go out the pump volume decreases. The 7300/2 pumps from 158-792 gph, so at full speed (plus the return from the sump at maybe 500 gph) I will have 2084 gph which is a 16.6 turnover ratio.
I got an RO/DI 110 gpd off ----.....
I bought 70 lbs of Tonga Vava'u Deepwater and 70 lbs of Tonga Eva live rock....should be here next Monday. I tried to find cheap sand at both Lowe's and Home Depot, but neither one carried any with aragonite, so I bought 90 lbs of Carib-Sea oolitic sand and 40 lbs of Carib-Sea Aragalive sand.
Haven't got my lights yet but I know what I'm going with....3 250W XM 10K MH with 2 160W URI 03 VHO's. I'm gonna build my own canopy. Gotta get the lights first and experiment with how far off the water line to go in regards to heat transfer. I'm already broke from all the other stuff I've bought this week, so I don't want to lay down any more green for a chiller.
Expensive habit, but fun.
