Or... if size doesnt matter you could check out craigslist.com for something already in the ballpark of what your spending, or go buy a Biocube ALL inclusive tank.. Or Go out and get those holes drilled and take the chance.. its ultimatley your decision..but no matter WHAT you decided RB will be there behind you to guide you EVERY step of the way.. so no worries mate..

If you go fo one of the many siphon systems you need to get one that is self priming. Or In other words dose not lose its siphon . Then make shure you only set it 1" to 1 1/2" deep in the tank. Then when filling you sump for the first time leave it short of full by 3 to 4 gal. mark where the watter is with tape on the out side then start the siphon when it stops mark the spot again . Then the distance between the two pieses of tape is the amount of space you must make shure you leave at the top of you sump . If you keep your watter level the same in you sump and don't over fill your tank you will never have a problem. The only thing that can cause a problem with a siphon systems is the operator if you trust your self you can trust the siphon systems.

Ps I said this for a 55 gal if you have a larger tank you will need to allow more room in the sump . you can figure how many gal. with tape on the display tank gust see how many gal. it takes to change the watter level 1" to 1 1/2 "
