I have a drilled tank that have 4 holes drilled in the overflows. I plan on using canister filters and have heard that since they are closed systems I can't plump then into these. What is the best way to "block" these off? A bulkhead with a pvc shutoff? Pardon my lack of knowledge with these terms. Thanks for any help though!!
Quick drilled tank question

yeah you can do that or you can even buy fittings that screw over the bulk heads just measure the bulk head and go to home depot and see what they got

Hmmm I am not sure if I totally understand. It sounds like a good idea though. Have you ever seen a picture of one online that I could look at? Thanks for the reply!

Thats what I was thinking but someone tried to convince me that I couldn't. Would I want to put a 90 Degree turn in the inlet pipe like it would have with the original inlet tubing? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I am trying to word it the best I can
.Na, you wouldn't need to. Don't put it all the way to the surface, either. You don't want it to suck air. Just think of it as the canister's inlet (that it came with), just upside down. You wont have to worry about it overflowing either because it is a sealed system, unlike a sump.
