Pre-Drilled

So I'm going to order a 150 gallon tank as a peninsula but my question is on a 18 wide low Iron glass would it be best to have two over flow on each corner end or have a half box over flow on the end. I need two drains, one return and one pipe for the electrical wires to canopy. Also does the wiring hole need to be the same size 1"? Let me know what you think or what you might suggest?

Getting back into salter water.

thanks.

Well.. I'd do a bean animal drain system with a coast-coast overflow on the 18" end..

Its hands down the best/most reliable/silent system you can do..

And your electrical wiring pipe needs to be as big as you need it.. (depends on how many wires you want to run through it)
