    Default Tank upgrade

    I just got a 150 gallon 48"x23"x31" it is not reef ready and I am wanting to put a calfo overflow in it. Where is the best place to get the tank drilled and to have the calfo boxes built and installed. Any other suggestions would be great.

    Thanks Jonathan

    What brand of tank is it? And how thick is the glass?

    The best position for the calfo is along the back wall of the tank. Or you can put one on the side of the tank. Either should work good. It just depends on how your tank will be positioned (either against a wall or a room divider).

    Contact Ace to see if he has time to make one (for a price ) School is about to let out for him and we GOTTA keep him busy :lol

    Yeah go with Ace (Hobogato) on the Calfo. He built mine and I couldn't be happier. He builds them with out the teeth, it makes the overflow look really sweet in the tank. As far as the drilling goes, I had mine drilled by Louis @ Aquatic Warehouse, he will drill it in shop or come to you house and drill it. Couldn't be happier with both of these guys. ;)

    he charges $25 per hole, now you dont get a gurantee that the tank wont crack, but hes drilled my 90g and my 120g with no problems.

    Go with Ace on the Calfo. Ross drilled my tank, but I don't know if he's still around.
