    its a 30 gallon and no drilling, just going to have a HOB overflow, its acually my first overflow and sump setup. so im a little nervous lol. but yes i will be putting a HOB overflow that drops down to my sump. which includes a skimmer small fuge, and back up into the display. i will be keeping everyone posted on this build. hopefully the stand is done by the 18th.

    Thinking about a MH system :) not sure on which one yet. Eventually I'm goin to make a canopy. It deff cleans up the whole display once u add a canopy. Also not sure about the returnpump yet. Looking to get like 800 gph with the pump. Just looking for a good deal now.
