So here's my situation. I have a free 150 gallon I can get, but the only place I can put it, is right against the wall.
The bottom isn't drilled, and the proximity to the wall prevents me from drilling the back, as I can't accommodate the 2-3 inches needed for the plumbing to elbow down.
So, what I was thinking, was to just silicone in a big plexiglass box against the back that would have slots to overflow on one side, and a hole on the other side for the outflow of a pump, and fill the area between the intake and the pump with foam and bio media.
The only con is that it would take up swimming space
Any other cons you guys can think of?
**Any other options you can think of for an external or sump filtration, considering my space restriction? **
I wish all tanks had drilled, built in overflows...
