I have started a new tank build - 75 gallon (48L x 18W x 21H). Picked up the tank pretty cheap off Craig's List. The tank is not drilled.
I have a diamond hole saw and have thought about drilling the tank (with the hope it is a regular glass bottom).
I have also considered a HOB protein skimmer - like one of the Octopus HOB or a CPR BAK-PAK. I want to keep this as simple as possible and not spend a ton of money.
So I'm still trying to figure out what I want in my tank - my wife wants a Zebra or Snowflake eel. I want something more towards the FOWLR side of things, but will want some LPS corals, Bicolor Angel, Foxface, Clowns and some Damsels
I understand that on of the HOB may not be enough - I would love to hear from others who have experience with HOB Protein Skimmers in a tank around 75 gallons. I'm pretty sure the folks at CorelVue have built a good HOB - I've heard pretty good things about their big skimmers.
