If a template of the correct size can be cut I'd prefer this method.
The template must be of a certian size.

It depends on how big it is when you get it.

Re: Just making sure I have everything right.
The fish that you can keep (behaviorially) in a FO tank are often not the fish that you can keep in a reef tank.
You should either keep this in mind or plan to find homes for your old friends.
