Newbie Needs help on an internal overflow....


I am in the process of setting up a 100 gallon (60''x18''x20'') reef tank and have decided to go with the internal overflow rather than the HOB overflow box. Can anyone help to determine what size holes need to be drilled?....how many?....should i have 1 in each corner or would just one suffice? any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hay Im In The Process Of Setting Up A New 90 Gal Reef Tank And I Am Relly Wanting To Install An Overflow System. Im Going Crazy Trying To Find A Place That Builds Them. Not One Single Place That I Have Contacted Has Gotten Back With Me. Im Pretty Much At A Stand Still And Im Going Nuts Im Never Going To Get This Tank Set Up. I Called A Local Place Yesterday And They Told Me To Just Go With To Marineland 400 Bio Wheels. Thats Not Exactly What I Want. Is There Anyway You Can Help Me Or Put In Contact With Someone That Can?

Due to the size of a 100 gallon tank I would probably go with a single corner overflow with a 1.5" drain and a 1" return...

Newbie: do you already have the tank or are you looking at buying a 90 gallon reef ready tank?

reef ready is the only way to go, if you did not buy the tank yet look into the all glass aquarium tanks nice tanks at a nice price.
