Hello everyone,
I kept a small reef tank with mostly LPS and Zoanthids for about two years now. However, I don't know much about pluming the tank. Currently, Filtrations for my tank are LR, LS and some carbon. I would like to upgrade my tank to a 46 Bowfront with a refugium. I have done some research about it but still kind of confused. I would like to ask for your helps before I set out to drill the tank.
1)What is the diameter of a hole after it is drilled in glass?
2)What is the diameter of the Diamond hole raw should i order?
3)How big an overflow box should be? Would a glass box of 4” L x 4”Wx4”H good enough?
4)What is the most quiet type of overflow should I do in my tank?
5)How should I decide which GPH pump is appropriate as a return pump for my tank. (zoanthids and LPS tank). Currently I have two used pumps: Mag3, and Iwaki(500 gph).
6)Can I get all my bulkheads and materials from HomeDepot?
Thanks in advance
