    Was wondering the opinions on these, or should I just save my money get an overflow and do it the right way.

    Depends on the size of your tank. Luna

    I think it is around 75 gallons, it is a old tank that I got from a family member that was setting. I did the math but, not sure if I did it right since it is a "Flat Back Hex" as a old time reefer told me.

    I dont have a built in overflow so would have to run a HoB. I could drill but tank is up already.

    TIA

    I have a HOB fuge that I am no longer using, it's a CPR model, medium size. It worked ok, but removed it in favor of a standard "under the tank" fuge. If you would rather have under the tank fuge, you can drill it with it stocked. You can lower the water lever in your tank and drill the back wall, which is what I did for my 20G tank. If you would like that option, I can offer help with that since I have done it.
