I am considering only having the bottom drilled for the returns, but I am wondering where I should put the outflow if I want the back glass to remain intact. I am planning an external overflow. Any ideas, I am on a deadline because I have to order the tank. Dimensions are 96x36x42. Thanks for any input.


On my 300 I have two 2" inlets and two 1.5" outlets drilled on the bottom of the tank going to a reeflo dart gold pump but my tank is acrylic and not glass. Not sure how well that would work for glass specially if it cracked on the back since there will be more pressure on the glass when the holes are cut on the bottom compared to the back.
