What is the best way to make my acrylic tank reef ready?

[ian77]

I purchased a 180 gallon acrylic tank bu t it didn't come reef ready. I know that there are a few different ways I just want some feedback from anyone that has done it. Thanks!

decide if you want 1 or 2 overflows
how much flow do you want
now you ready to drill your tank.

you can do this in 2 ways :


1) have your local LFS do it.
2) drill it your self

you also ned to decide how large the overflow has to be

do you want the overflows outside or inside your tank?
