Maybe one day.

CPR (and probably others) make an overflow box you can hang on the back. That way you can run a sump tank and/or refugium underneath it.

There is also a local fish store here (may have one in your town) that will drill an overflow hole for $35 bucks. Depending on the tank they can some times drill it in the bottom and fabricate an overflow box for in the tank, and presto, you have what looks like it was intended for a salt water.

Glass or otherwise it should be ok as long as you clean it up farily well before switching it.

I would probably anticipate spending $1500 to get it setup though, especially if you plan on doing coral.

if you want to do it well and enjoy it, do research... don't just go to the store and buy things they tell you that you need
