Aw. That's awesome. My one year old wants me too. But my 12 year old thinks I'm nuts along with the rest of my family. Lol

Taggin along. I bought a standard 65g but I have not started the transfer from the 29g. Could not decide if I drill or just HOB overflow.

Same as me. I had a 29 with hob. And just transfered the 29 to this 65 standard tank. I literally just finished it. That's why it's cloudy. Lol. I went with hob.

Sorry about the lateness it is a toss up on drill or not to drill. If u planning on going to sell it or not. Some do want a reef ready and some to not, HOB overflow may clog cause a slight chance of a wet floor and the same with drilled. It is your choice.

I think that you will get a BETTER resale value on non drill just my 2 cents

What type of hob overflow do u have on the 65 and what type of return pump? Looking good and keep us updated.

No you missed understood. I'm sorry. I'm only using hob power filter. Had one on my 20 long reef and that that is doing great. Sorry

Thanks for your feedback. I thought there are more chances of accident flood if I go HOB overflow.
I am leaning more on HOB since I cannot find a shop that can drill the tank.

I see. My 29g is also running HOB filter and no skimmer. And for this 65g that I am planning to build, I would like to add a Sump.

I thought about it but when I go bigger that will be my next step. No skimmer and hobs. But only a fowlr for a while. Then will add some coral. Maybe then a skimmer.
