Hob overflows get bad press due to the fact they get buildup and don't work as well. Even lifereef needs scraping of the Coralline or it doesn't flow as well. I hate the kind with the airline in the top. If the airline gets plugged or something interferes with the pump ur in trouble. Drilled tanks just work so smooth. One less potential issue.

I like these because thet look cooler than tubes, and seems to resist clogging just because there is more surface area.

I took some measurements and I can't fit a ten gallon tank under the dt for the sump, what are you guys opinion on stacking two 5g offset one another and use the bottom for skimmer and return with the top one as the fuge. Also, should I put skimmed I'm top tank with drain or "t/y" the drain line to go into both the top fuge and the bottom with skimmer. The fuge would be gravity fed into the bottom tank. This is the only feasable thing I can think of doing to maximize the skimmer and fuge areas.

T the drain to feed fuge then grav feed down to skim/return.
Seems most logical.
That would be cool.
Hey maybe drill the 5g fuge drain for 3/4" bulkhead.
Then you get some cheap practice.
locally petco $1per gal. sale ends today.
