Man you are really making me consider drilling it myself. couldn't i just drill it and put strainers on it and not worry about a weir? then i would have more room in the tank and I could bump it up to 1.5 or even 2" pipe. How necessary is a weir??
What tank size to go with??

It's the only way to get the flow you want. No you don't need a weir but there are a lot of benefits to having one. When I get home or some more time I'll see if I can find the link to a aftermarket overflow I found. If id have found it sooner I would have gotten the undrilled tank and drilled it myself. That's a risk though, but I've drilled a ton of tanks. I'm posting in between sessions of my 3 day managers conference in Texas. So kinda limited.
By conference do you mean mini vacation lol.
Are you referring to a hang on the back overflow? Because that’s a no go for me. I’ve heard too many horror stories
I agree with this. I drilled the back of my tank with three 1.5” drains and two 3/4” returns. Not having the weir really opens up the tank. I’ve seen both a 220 with and without and even though they are the same size tank mine without weirs looks much larger.
I’ll try to find my thread and post a link.

Here it is. This pretty much details my whole setup. You won’t need the H2Overflows. You can just use the shallow strainer like I have on my e-drain.

Okay I’ll check this out and see if it clears things up for me. Because I don’t mind having pipes running in the back I prefer to have more room in the tank
Btw, here are a few pictures of the 75 I pm’d you about. I tried to send the pics through pm but couldn’t figure out how. Lol
It’s nothing special, but it should work great as a grow out/hospital tank. You can definitely turn it into a sump if you want. My sump is a 55 and I really regret not going with a 75 or 90 instead.

Maybe if I can get my hands on it before they sell it I can use it as my guinea pig for the sump
No its 18hr days. Not fun.
No its a drill one. They are are pretty cool low profile multiple set up handling up to I think 3600 gph.
