I bought a 100 gal pre drilled tank is it possible to hook up the protein skimmer and wet/ dry system under the tank with out a sump?

I didn't want to go sump when I initially set my tank up. But with a tank that size it is so much nicer with one. With your tank pre drilled, (which is what anyone on these boards would want) it would be in your best interest to go with a sump. Plus it will be cheaper.
I have a 150 gallon, and water changes are a breeze with a sump. Inhabitants don't even get bothered.

I agree... I have a 72 bow and am strongly thinking about buying one that is pre-drilled so I can have a sump w/o having to worry about a siphon over the back. I had one in my 55 gal and it was perfect to add meds, water, etc. Plus it houses all of your equipment to free up the back of your tank.
