[takt]

Hey guys so we just got our 150 sealed and now need an overflow and a sump(NOT DRILLED) but dont know what size would work for 72x18x26 any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

750gph overflow or higher. And same related sump. Like a 55g tank would be a nice Sump for that tank. 75g would be even better.

I would drill it. The bean animal overflows way is super quite. Its a lot cheaper than external overflows and the tank only partialy needs to be drained. Just make sure the back isn't tempered. The manufacturer will tell you if you cant find it in the paper work.

We picked it up used and have no way of figuring out the manufacturer i was planning on using an over flow and sump from my other 55 long but something tells me it wont work.

the stand is low too so getting a tank undernieth i would have to take the whole thing apart.

apparently Jen found out its a perfecto idk if its drillable or not.

If its not filled yet, the stand should be open in the back. And you should be able to get a sump in that way. Take another shot of the stand with its doors open.

can I use the sump and overflow box from my 55?

 

[Reefing Madness]

Sure you could. Not the highest flow you could get, but it won't hurt anything.

it would fit but would the flow work for an upgraded pump?

thx for the help btw

You couldn't upgrade the flow for that overflow box, you'd have to get a new one, and then a new return pump. But you could set up the tank with what you have, then upgrade when you have the time and the cash.
