 This morning woke up to the CPR overflow(with Aqua Lifter) stopped siphoning and overflowed my display tank. I need advise on what to do with my 4 fish, a few small corals, CUC, Live Rock and Sand, while I take the tank down to be drilled and proper overflows installed. Second where can I get proper overflows installed I am in Logan but willing to drive.  My wife is not happy about this so your help is greatly appreciated. Tank is 75 Gal Fish 2 Clown 2 Green Chromis 50 CUC 1 Pepermint Shrimp 1 Emerald Crab 4 Coral Frags

| I am nowhere near logan but have plenty of room if you would like me to hold your stuff while you fix the tank. |

| Alternatively you could come and get from me (or buy) a Rubbermaid Tote to put your stuff in and just run it like a bare bones tank for a few days without too many issues. Heater, Powerhead, lights on top. |

Be sure that you don't drill the bottom of the tank. Most tank bottoms are tempered glass and will break into tiny pieces if you try to drill them. You can usually drill the back side of the tank without a problem but this isn't always the case either. I had a 55 and all 5 panels of glass were tempered. ------------- Burt An equal opportunity reefer, I support all hobbyists and organizations involved in Marine Aquarium Keeping. [email protected] |

Might just be easier to buy a used or new tank with the overflows already drilled. ------------- 21G Reefer Nano |
