Getting a new tank, only one problem....

[K626]

Ok, I'm picking up a large tank tonight, it looks like a 225 or 240. Only thing is, I didn't see an overflow on it. There's only a small spot in the middle of the back of the tank for anything to go into it (it's an acrylic tank). What filtration would I be able to run on this? I was thinking maybe an fx5 and an eheim, one for mech and one for bio. What do you think?

You can alway get a external overflow if you want to run a W/D.

I was thinking that, but never had any experience with it. I'm looking for suggestions, and if you could explain how that works, I'd appreciate it.

Anyone else?????

The external overflow works alot like an internal box but it works off of a syphon. Best thing to do would be to the DIY section and do a search. There are some pretty good diagrams on there.
