My tank broke. I currently have all my live stock living in my sump, my 110 gallon quarantine tank and a 300 gallon water trough. I have to design another tank, and I need ideas on the closed loop. I think my tank cracked because of the returns in the back of the glass weakened the glass. I am considering only having the bottom drilled for the returns, but I am wondering where I should put the outflow if I want the back glass to remain intact. I am planning an external overflow. Any ideas, I am on a deadline because I have to order the tank. Dimensions are 96x36x42. Thanks for any input.
