I just picked up a used 150 gallon Glass Tank yesterday. I have a lot of work to fix it up, but got a bunch of stuff with it and got it at a good price. It does not have any holes drilled into it yet, but came with a HOT overflow that he used for a long time w/out problems. After reading a bunch of posts on different forums, including here, I think that drilling corner overflows would be the best way to go. I have no experience in this, since I have no overflows or sumps in any of my other FW tanks. How easy is it to get the holes drilled? How big should the holes be? Do I only need 2 holes drilled (one in each corner)? Do I need to drill a hole for the return? The setup that came with it just had the return come over the top. I don't mind doing it this way, but want to make sure there is a reason not to go along with his return setup. How many holes, total, will I need to drill? What are the locations for all the holes? I'm probably going to have someone else drill the holes because I don't want to ruin a nice tank. The dimensions of the tank are as follows: 60Lx24wx24h. The stand that came with it does have holes drilled in the corners which I am guessing are for the overflows to come down into a sump. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
