    Its not drilled but I have a overflow and the tools to drill it. I will be moving my 75gal reef into it and using that as a sump/fuge. Its a custom tank 65x28.5x24 with a matching oak stand and canopy.

    Bugs they didnt charge extra for those? lol

    Yeah I am going to buy new base rock and glue it together out of the tank and set it in then put my rock from the 75 in there to seed all that. The only issue i might have is I get my new MH/t5 light in for my 75 so idk how it will work with this tank. its only 48" long. But there is 2x250w MH bulbs so i know it will hit the bottom.

    that tank looks really nice.
    almost looks like a bowfront??
    and is there moulding going up on the corners of the tank? dont see that everyday but it looks good.

    BTW your going to be changing that background right? lol
