well, i dont have that same one, but my 55 is pre-drilled. i like it. no leaks, and it is a lot better than having visible pipes.

The tanks are usually good to go. Its the plumbing you attach that is usually the problem when things fail.
Cant beat a pre-drilled with a corner overflow.

Do you mean the Plumping that comes with the tank?
If so what kind of problems?

I believe he meant the plumbing that you will build yourself and attach to the tank. Gotta get the water from the overflow to your sump and back to the tank somehow.

Thanks!
Im in the planning stages of a new build and the one i was looking at comes with a plumping pack that includes the overflow and return including the Loc-Line dicharge

If done carefully and with great planning you should have NO problems with predrilled tanks. Just make sure that you install your bulkheads correctly, tighten but do not overtighten. Some of us have over 10 holes drilled in our tanks with out any problems or leaks.
