that is where i had my holes drilled. thinking about it now, i dont see why you cant just have two pieces of glass/plexiglass seperated with a 3/4" gap.
the skimmer chamber is the same as the intake. I dont see any advantage of getting rid of it.

SeR, I posted on your thread pictures of my 65. If you have the reef ready pre-drilled standard 65, it has an overflow of 600 gph. With that overflow, you cant have a pump that pumps at a higher rate than that.
Therefore, you can have a pump up to around 700 gph, because with head loss you will be less than the overflow. I had a Rio 1700+ and upgraded to a Mag7. I definitely recommend the Mag7.

i got a steal on a 65 gal 65 bucks and its glass with no holes so i think my only option is to get a HOB overflow unless i can get them drilled somewhere? can you even drill glass? and how big would the holes have to be?
