    I was thinking of 4 like Sam has that I seen two in each corner but maybe that is two many for a 120?
    one or two over flows standard in a 120?
    But wile I am drilling I think I would prefer to have more then needed so if I wanted to add a bigger pump later I could. Sorry I have only had nanos, so this whole sump thing is new to me?
    What size holes do I need to drill?
    Anyone got a bit laying around that they used on theres that has a couple of drills still left in it that I can use to drill mine?
    Did you guys buy your over Flowers or build them?
    Thanks Glen

    The 120 we have at the store, has four holes, two drains, and two returns.

    I believe the holes themselves are 1 3/4 inch, but  they dont seem to flow more water, it seems to be the over flow box that matters more than the holes when it comes to that.

    We have two holes in our big tank, two in the frag tank,  and  also two in our son's 29 and the holes vary from 3/4" to 1".  You might come pick Blake and Mike's brain on the subject.  They drill tanks fairly often and have some experience with overflows.  They also have the bits.
