125 AGA Reef Ready?

I am looking into buying this tank in the next week or so.. I have a few questions.. First of all.. How well does the factory corner overflow system work?.. I will be getting one in each of the back corners.. Second.. Do the provided holes provide enough flow?.. I was thinking about trying to special order the tank with a couple holes in the back for a closed loop as well.. How do you get good flow with only two returns?.. Also what has everyone else been quoted for this size of tank..


125 w/ dual overflows and I want the back black..
List the hardware kit seperatly please I am thinking about just plumbing it myself

Thanks..

I have an AGA 180 with the same overflows. The flow rate is not bad and the AGA overflows are not too loud. Extending the standpipe/float up a few inches will help keep the water noise down.

In my 180 I've added seven MJ 1200's on a RedSea wavemaker to increase the flow rate...
