Although most people prefer to drill their tanks it is not necessary. You will need to buy an overflow box though. Also a pump for the return to your tank.
The positive is that it has a autotop off built into it which is nice but not super hard to DIY.
What size is it? Is it worth 110 buck to you? For me it wouldn't be. I had a custom 60 gal sum/fuge made for me for 120 bucks delivered just for a point of reference. I still had to buy the overflow though.

thanks for responding brent. How much would that stuff cost? overflow, pump, etc.?

 

[diatom]

Eric that really depends on what you get. Roughly 70 bucks for an overflow and 150 for a return pump.
The pump dictates the size of the overflow you need. You want fairly low flow for a fuge but I think for your size tank the above numbers are fairly close.
You might want to check out some other plaves that sell drygoods to see what is out there for what you're spending.

ok thanks a lot... I don't think i'm gonna get this...it's too expensive and my tank is doing fine without it. Thanks for your help

My pleasure! Good luck with the tank.
