Can anyone give me some good advice when it comes to hooking up a sump to a tank that is NOT PREDRILLED???? The pro's and con's? How to do it without overflowing the tank would be a great start. How much of a U shape will I need in the overflow going out of the tank, to the sump? Will the gph make a difference in how the overflow has to be set up????:confused:

Also the sumps I am considering using are 30g. breeders that are predrilled at the top corner. The tanks they would go on will very from 75g and up.

If you could just give me a link to someone who has went through this process that would work to.
Thank's in advance.
