I have a drilled 75 with the corner overflow that I am wanting to convert from a FOWLR to a reef. Researching what the experts here have to say, I need to up the flow rate in my tank before i can start keeping corals. Right now my return pump is a mag 7. I've read that I should have 15 to 20 times turnover per hr. So my question is what is the best way to do this? Is it a good idea to just replace the mag 7 with somthing faster? My guess was to do a closed loop but I'm kind of weary about drilling the glass. I'm planning a 180 or 210 right now so everything will be transferred to that while I convert my 75. So if I have too, I can drill it without water in it.
What are your thoughts? Would a closed loop be more beneficial? I don't really want to use powerheads because I like not being able to see any equipment in the tank.
Any info would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance
