I have 24 hours or so to decide on either drilling a space into the side of the tank to be able to insert a glass lily pip and inflow, drilling into the base of the tank with two bulkeheads or at the back (midpoint) with two bulkheads.
The tank will only be 50% full, therefore, using the normal approach of hangover lillypipes and inflow will be impossible without cutting a hole into the tank just above the waterline. Cutting a hole would be the safest bet allowing me use a method I am comfortable with. It will, however, look quite messy.
I have seen a few posts to Tom Barr's use of bulkheads on the base with an external filter with something similar being used by Green Aqua on their 365 degree square tanks. This seems a cleaner solution, however, am worried about the possibility of a leak (160 lts of water can make significant mess).
Alternatively, I thought of using a bulkheads at the back say 10 cm below the water line. Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.
Any advice?
