you probably should have drilled the tank or bought a drilled tank, over flows are not the safest way to do it.

Drill the tank, being plexi is a breeze !! All you need is an internal overflow box, PVC pipe/fittings and bulkhead.
Or if you want to go external I'm meeting eldiablo in hell, I mean on Saturday and can bring the overflow/sump/pump over to SF |

yea i wanna make sure i have everything planned out first. the problem with drilling is that i dont have the proper tools at home. and have not gotten the sump or the pump ready.
