I think what he meant to say is not to drill your tank bottom, because it was already drilled with four holes along the bottom before it was filled with water. I wonder if the stand settled a little, causing to much stress on one spot. I would have put some styrofoam under the tank.150G Tropheus Moorii Ilangi

Cause having just the overflow sucks big time on such a large reef tank and sucks even worse that the overflow is only on one side.
With a good amount of rocks you would want more flow through them and having powerheads alone will not accomplish that especially if you want a clean look.
Just why I would attempt drilling if in fact it was not there to begin with.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

if remember the bottom was already pre drill. plus if you are going to stack alot of rocks (which he didnt) i would have added a vortech or 2Comment

If the tank was pre-drilled then that was what broke, he said something about the bulkheads.
I know he did not drain the whole tank just to drill it.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

Ok I went back and re-read his post... he is just saying to others not to have your tank drilled on the bottom.

That size tank, you have to build a perfect stand for it and even. The garage concrete slab is made to be an incline so water dont flood into the house, i dont know if that was consider when building the stand.Comment

even if that is true...unless he hard piped the tank with steel fitting the bulkhead would not have given. The seams around the bottem edge would have giveComment
