Was thinking about that but I don't like the space a bean animal takes up. I might just do 1.5" drains In each back corner. With 90's like I have in my 150 now.

But I'm not sure, open to suggestions guys.

I don't know if I want to wait 24 hrs to silicone a bulky over flow box in either, but I'll see what Gary says

Hey man sorry for your troubles, Bin there, but as long as you got it figured out that's the main thing, Good thing you got somewhere to put your Corals and Fish, 155 Bow is nice, Rimless too. Sweet, Good Luck.

We are not sure if the bottom is tempered. Didn't have much of a choice :/

If you find you need plumbing and have to get it tomorrow, Accupump in Stratford has every white PVC fitting you could possibly think of. Prices are way cheaper than Lowes. Plasti Fab near London sells the sch 80 Hayward bulkheads.

Best of luck.
