New Tank Question
If you were getting a tank 60x33x25 and you wanted an internal overflow box in the tank. Would you have to have two overflow boxes in this tank or just one?

Re: New Tank Question
If you were basing it off what it takes to handle the pumps return, then we would need to know what size pump you have,
one good size one would work more than likely but there is a good argument for multiple or large overflow boxes and it has less to do with water return and holes and more to do with how much protein you can skim from the surface in a given qty or water.
And of course its all relative to what kind of skimmer, how efficient etc.
Then you have the how many boxes you wanna hide issue as well.
I guess bottom line is one / two or cali flow they will all work and your tank can be kept beautiful.
