If it’s already drilled with threaded bulkheads, I’d recommend going with a sump. Look on Craigslist for a used 29, 30, 35, 40, or 55. Then, just plumb it up and put a pump in. For bio, you can just throw in a bunch of lava rock. For mechanical, I’d recommend going with filter socks. You don’t even need any baffles. It will be way better filtration and not that hard to do.
If it helps I have two acrylic sumps (70 gal and 60 gal) that are dirt cheap and am about 10 mins north of OP. I won't be using either sump. I even have bulkheads to replace what's there now. Hit me up man, I have tons of gear.Jexnell
I am in an Apartment, so worry about the weight. That why I decided on canisters and hob's instead of sump. The tanks are running across the floor joint not along to spread weight over as many as we can. Also along outside
walls or on top of footing.
Ugh lord only knows the goodies you have laying around. Your neighbors are lucky haahaha
I am looking for some plugs to fill the holes it has.
