Hey all,
At the time when I bought our 100g...I was just thinking a FOwLRLS would do.
Well, it has changed to a Reef setup. So, I'm getting my LFS to install the built-in Overflow box w/ some kind of silent design.
Specs: 100g -> 30g sump (10g refugium tied to sump).
I've heard that 6"x9" box and two drilled holes would be all I need.
In your experience, what would be something you'd want in your Overflow?
Thanks. I appreciate you thoughts!

Let me know how this works out.I'v never heard of drilling a tank.I thought tank were tempered glass, and you can't drill tempered glass.Am I wrong?Have I been mis-led?

tanks below a 55gal is usually tempered and cannot be drilled. 55 tanks are tempered on the sides but not the bottom
I wanted mine drilled while i had it down but couldnt find anyone to do it when i needed it done. Ill stick with the overflow and be happy. I have a nice reef so things are going well.

I got my 75 drilled by the lfs. $15 per hole for insurance reasons but that was about it. I even helped them drill it.

My 55 gal came predrilled with overflow box installed from AGA, works great. Just realized that pods are living in the sponge leading to the drain. Guess its a good place for them to breed. Ghetto Refugium??????
