My question/problem is this. I have a standard 55 gallon aquarium, I used to have it FW but recently made the switch to SW. I have a skilter filter/skimmer, for a 55. a smaller 30 gal hangon filter, and a 55 gallon powerhead. Anyway back to the problem, I want to have a sump under this tank but it has no weirs, no holes or anything. Im wondering if it's posible to put a 10-20 gallon sump on here. If so how. Im pretty sure its temperd glass so that means that i cant drill it right? can anyone offer me any advice? :dunno:
 
You can get siphon kits that hang on the side of the tank if you dont want to drill the tank.
 
I'm not sure about the US but in the Uk shuran and aquamedic make good ones. If you know a tank builder, then you could just get a new base put on the tank which shouldn't cost too much. Then you can have it drilled and that should cut out the problems that some have with overflow boxes.
