Help
Hi,
I live in Bodmin and have an 80 gallon Lahiana tank with an integral filter. It has a 2 channel wavemaker and an air powered skimmer.
It has not been set up for around 8 years due to moving home and I now want to get it going again. I am looking to keep fish only. What type of filtration would be recommended, and if it's best to use a sump, can you offer some advice on getting the tank drilled?
Thanks
Mark

welcome to the site mark.
i highly recommend you get a sump fitted, but, you need to make sure the glass isnt tempered, which isnt drillable.
if its ok then either get a glass drill from ebay/b&q and drill it yourself, or, take it to jasonsaquatics and ask jason to do it. he'll probably only charge you a tenner per hole.
you will also need a skimmer which can go in the sump if you have one.
