Guest Oldfrontier April 4, 2007 Share April 4, 2007 I have a ADA 20 gal. tall tank I am thinking of using as a fuge. does anyone know if I can drill this tank? It is a rimless tank and I can't see any silicone in the corners or edges. I tried to find info on these tanks on line but all I can find is reviews or it is in Jap. (I can't read it). I am upgradeing to a 120 and I want to have a main sump (30 gal.) with my overflows, baffles, media, and skimmer located in the first 2/3rds of it with a bulkhead exiting after the skimmer and going to the fuge. Than I want it to pass through the fuge. and exit into the closed off 1/3rd of the main sump for the return. Any help at all would be great, Thank you!!!!!

VicSkimmr April 4, 2007 Share April 4, 2007 Take this in the best way possible, but are you *#@!ing insane? Those ADA tanks are extremely expensive. I'd just go buy a 20 gallon from Petco for $40 and be done with it. P.S. What are the dimensions of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oldfrontier April 4, 2007 Share April 4, 2007 No I won't take it in the wrong way, I figured it was a stupid idea to use that tank for it. I do have a 20 long as will I quess i'll use it. The dims. are 24"x 11 3/4"x 14 1/4". Thanks, Kenny P.S. Know anyone who may want to buy it? It's not being used and I have no room for it than.

Guest Oldfrontier April 4, 2007 Share April 4, 2007 I may post it but I was just trying to see what my options were before I do so since it is a good tank to keep and I alreay have a PC fixture for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicSkimmr April 5, 2007 Share April 5, 2007 Those tanks are a work of art, I'd just hate to see one being used as a sump, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgets August 12, 2008 Share August 12, 2008 I have two of them and drilled them both. They are really nice tanks and you could make a really cool fuge if you use it. :D I would think it should look pretty sharp if you made it viewable and kept it clean.
