Just picked this up, Had some problems at first there was 4 holes, 2 were plugged and glued closed so i had to rip them all out. Im guessing it was freshwater due to this config, 1 hole in left back corner and 1 hole in right back corner, and 2 holes kind of in the center of the tank. Ive never plumbed a tank before but im whilling to give this a shot if someone out there could guide me in the right direction.

For now ive cleaned the tank put all new bulkheads which corner are smaller then center bulkheads this is what im working with and not gonna try and re.drill.. How could i make this very useable? Im thinking i plug the 2 center holes and use the back left corner hole for intake to sump/can finter and have back right corner hole for water pump back into the tank from sump/can filter? Or possibly buy some acrylic sheets and make the two corners an overflow?

Feel free to chime in.

Bump.
No one has input on this?
How would you use these 4 holes?

Personally I would seal the holes and just use 1 corner. Get an overflow made for it or find a premade one and silicone it in around the corner bulkhead. Maybe you could use the other corner bulkhead for return but your gonna see the piping running to the top of the tank.

I would agree with this. Either seal it, or do get a overflow wall made for you and seal it yourself. Third Option is seal them all, and do Brand new overflow on the tank with ghost flow, Glasshole, or if you want it to look "ugly" Overflow box.

Thanks for the quick response.. Thats what I was thinking as well, currently I have the 2 centers plugged with a cap and the right I'd like to possibly make an overflow as well or plug is completely.
