I've got the opportunity of picking up a 41"x24"x24" used tank . It's cheap, in great nick and because its bespoke fits its allocated placement ideally.
A conundrum though, it has a rear-center glass weir/ overflow with drilled bottom for bulkhead ( 1") etc.
I want to put in a 'Bean Animal' / Calfo overflow system though.
My first reaction was just to carefully remove the current overflow and slap a new piece of glass over the hole.
This seems like a waste of good plumbing ! Can anyone think of an alternative use ... maybe some kind of return set up ....?? A closed loop ( I was planning to get Vortechs or similar) ...?? Adapting BeanAnimal's setup to use hole ???
Over to the RC - wizards ..! What would you do ?
