I have a 90 gallon tank (no holes as of yet) somebody gave me and now I am tyring to figure out the best way to plumb it before I get it filled with water.  I want to plumb it for both a sump and a closed loop.  How big of holes should I get drilled, and where on the tank should I have them drilled?  Does anybody know who/where I can get the holes drilled?  Any input would be nice.
 
Thanks

I would take it to Eric at Marine Aquatics.  He will do a great job and give you advice on the holes.

Tanks available at retailers always have the holes drilled in the bottom back, behind a preformed, toothed overflow. Advanced hobbyist tanks often have holes drilled in the upper back of the tank. Since the RT is next Saturday, I'd go see a lot of tanks to get ideas on the best ways to do it. I have two of those preformed toothed overflows if you want. I removed them from my Stingray tank.
