drilling tanks

Joylynn · Aug 14, 2011

I'm looking for a 75 gallon or larger tank and stand if anyone knows of any for sale. If I get one off of CraigsList does anyone know where I would be able to get one drilled. Do I need a sump for this size or can I get by with some other type of filtration? I've only had nanos up until now.

I've got this tank available: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/selling-forum-dry-goods/66215-fs-dsa-90g-36x24x25-stand-side.html

This tank/stand/sump is $1,300 new, bought it at AC July '09.

Heck of a deal and a great sized tank...

This Skimmer and ATI light would be a perfect fit too: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/mt...332-tanks-rke-itech-skimmer-dosing-pumps.html

My tank also comes with a DIY canopy where a light like this can just sit/mount in with cables attached for raising...

I'll include a Mag 9.5 return pump too for someone in the club...

Aquatic Critter in Nashville drills tanks or if handy you can do it yourself, The MTRC has some drill bits for drilling glass you can use.

you can "get by" without a sump for sure. I currently am running my tank without one. But I don't suggest it. I would for sure get a drilled tank, or have one drilled if at all possible. It really removes a lot of possible headaches from the get go. No worries about a overflow losing siphon etc....and all of your equipment is hidden, and it adds more water volume to the system.
