    I have a ten gallon drilled tank for my fuge. What I did was added a PH to my sump. I have my fuge placed above my sump so water is pumped up to my fuge and is gravity feed back down into my sump.

    I've heard it's better to run from tank to sump then fuge for better water quality.

    Glass shops can do it...

    Or better yet, do it yourself?
    Granted, i've been using power tools since the young age of 3... but I didn't find drilling glass any more difficult than drilling anything else. (dozen+ holes of various sizes, all good results)
